Manual is no typical architectural monograph. It is a guidebook to how the successful Philadelphia firm KieranTimberlake builds their buildings. Manual reveals the architect's "trade secrets," opening the firm's files of details to show us how things are made.Anyone who has every looked at a building or a staircase or a shelf and wondered "how did they do that?" will find the answer in Manual. By disclosing their design strategies-illustrating them with photographs and detailed working drawings from twenty-nine built projects ranging from houses to schools, KieranTimberlake provides in this unique book a level of understanding not otherwise possible.

This review is from: Manual: The Architecture of KieranTimberlake (Paperback)
I bought this book after reading the reviews here, and was a little disappointed. The book would be helpful to those who haven't worked/interned at a firm before, where one is frequently working with construction and detailed drawings. Its how all firms work once they've moved past the early design phase.

This review is from: Manual: The Architecture of KieranTimberlake (Paperback)
I learned more about artchitecture from this book than during my 4 years at the University of Minn. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that is new to the field and working on becoming an Architect. I called Stephen Kieran at his frim and he even answered some questions for me.The guy is a true professional.

This review is from: Manual: The Architecture of KieranTimberlake (Paperback)
I had this book in College and it i sone of the reasons I got through school, I just graduated from Yale and where Mr. Kieran has an excellent reputation and I understand was once the Dean of the Architecture School. If you have a real interest in the art he is the master.
