4.0 out of 5 stars Design +
An interesting format for a discussion of design principles with beautiful pen and ink sketches. Imaginary letters written between two architects discussing well known and not so well known buildings that illustrate proportion, paths, angles and why they appeal to our eyes and hearts. Recommended by a designer whose course I took. A very pleasing book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good to start with
The book is good to start with, it was the first book that was required in my first class or arts (architect) 11A at UCB, it helped a lot in showing different types of drawing styles. It is a good book to start with, its just like an intro for art students.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chambers..., September 24, 2009
This review is from: Chambers for A Memory Palace (Paperback)
Interesting book, text for a class on "Placemaking" for architecture. Great Pictures! The authors write letters to each other about many different great places. It's also, notably, not all on western architecture, there are some awesome eastern places too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Book on Architect Fundamentals, July 1, 2009
This review is from: Chambers for A Memory Palace (Paperback)
This book is great. It looks at the why of design elements. It is easy to read and just about anyone can follow the ideas. If you are interested in looking into the what and why of architecture this is the book for you.

Easily the best book on architecture, and mere observation, that I have ever read. Great even for those with little or no knowledge of the field.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This book came in great time, and satisfactory condition. The top right corner of the cover was bent, but I am happy with the order. Thank you so much for being prompt and legit, and conducting business in a desirable manner.

3.0 out of 5 stars A bit technical, September 19, 2004

Rob K "Buddhist" (Brooklyn, NY and NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chambers for A Memory Palace (Paperback)
For the way this book is advertised, I did not feel like it accomplished what it sets out to do. Nevertheless if you are an amateur buff of architecture like me this is a good book to add to your home library collection.
