Best I've seen,
By Wong Riis (Pasadena, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creation in Space: A Course in the Fundamentals of Architecture : Architectonics (Paperback)
I'm a freak for how-to books and this one is awesome. Friedman's Creation in Space is lucid and elegant. An architect friend in LA showed me her copy and I had to have my own. What I found was an updated version (second edition), with better developed exercises and accompanying illustrations. This first rate 3-D primer is a step by step design program, complete with hard-to-find but essential essays that every designer needs to have read. If you are a wannabe artist, architect, or just curious, this one is for you.
