Product Description
2008 Silver Award Winner, Architecture Category, Independent Publisher Book Awards. and Winning entry, General Trade Illustrated Category, in the 2008 New England Book Show sponsored by Bookbuilders of Boston.

This is a book that students of architecture will want to keep in the studio and in their backpacks. It is also a book they may want to keep out of view of their professors, for it expresses in clear and simple language things that tend to be murky and abstruse in the classroom. These 101 concise lessons in design, drawing, the creative process, and presentation—from the basics of "How to Draw a Line" to the complexities of color theory—provide a much-needed primer in architectural literacy, making concrete what too often is left nebulous or open-ended in the architecture curriculum. Each lesson utilizes a two-page format, with a brief explanation and an illustration that can range from diagrammatic to whimsical. The lesson on "How to Draw a Line" is illustrated by examples of good and bad lines; a lesson on the dangers of awkward floor level changes shows the television actor Dick Van Dyke in the midst of a pratfall; a discussion of the proportional differences between traditional and modern buildings features a drawing of a building split neatly in half between the two. Written by an architect and instructor who remembers well the fog of his own student days, 101 Things I Learned in Architecture School provides valuable guideposts for navigating the design studio and other classes in the architecture curriculum. Architecture graduates—from young designers to experienced practitioners—will turn to the book as well, for inspiration and a guide back to basics when solving a complex design problem.

101 Things I Learned in Architure School
I bought this as a gift for someone. I flipped through the book before I wrapped it, and wish I had ordered one for myself. It is a very small book - about 4" X 6".
 
DON'T BUY THIS BOOK>
While he may seem like he knows whats up from this book this guy is a jerk. He doesn't practice what he preaches. He is a horrible professor which is sad because you think from the book he would be compassionate. He refused to turn in his students final grades because he was using them as a pawn in his evil game.
 
Horrible customer service
I am giving this a one star because of my buying experience and not because of the product. Super slow shipping. Had to email seller numerous times. Slow email responses. Will not do future business with seller again.
 
of Very Much Help
As a thrid year architecture student, I found this book very helpful. It is a quick read and quite literal. It isnt as "in-depth" as my studio textbooks, however for the price I suggest this book to any student of architecture.
 
the road less traveled by M. Scott peck
101 I learned in Architecture school - objective, clean, sober, direct,splendid book, specially for architects, as I am. Even though, philosophically, it can be read by everyone. It will teach a lot. Congratulations for the author.
