The Fundamentals of Architecture Reviews

'I think you have pitched these books just right: clear layout; accessible language; good photography; contemporary precedent that the student will relate to and the communication of the design process from inception to final communication.' Russell Gagg, Arts University College Bournemouth, UK. 'Very good value. This book is exactly what is needed as a first year Architectural and Interior Design students' course book. We have already put it on the year book list.' Mary Weguelin, University of Portsmouth, UK.
