5.0 out of 5 stars
A must for anyone interested in architecture,
By Matthew Shaw (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Almanac of Architecture & Design 2001 (Paperback)
This book was recommended to me by an architecture student. While not an architect, I must say that this book is one of the most valuable architecture resources in my library. As someone who has always had an interest, this almanac has really allowed me to explore and enjoy my interest in architecture. This book has a lot of information that will be of interest to professional architects, but it goes well beyond that and has something for everyone. There is a lot here that you won't find anywhere else, and its as up-to-date as it gets. I will be adding a copy to my library every year. Highly recommended.
