A truly great book. I am distilled in awe.,

This review is from: Reading Architectural Plans: For Residential and Commercial Construction, 4th Edition (Paperback)
I'm an urban and regional planner and i bought this book because i wanted to know more about architectural plans and building codes. Haven't really gotten around because of side projects, but i have leisurely reviewed this book and it has all these great tips on how to read floor plans. The explanations are detailed,tests are included, and it also has large floor plans folded neatly in the book!! I recommend it to anyone interested in the modest art of reading structural diagrams! great reference guide to have at your office/cubicle.

This review is from: Reading Architectural Plans for Residential and Commercial Construction (5th Edition) (Spiral-bound)
This is the required textbook for class. The exams given to us are directly from the book, so it was necessary to purchase this book. But as the professor points out, there is some information that is incorrect or outdated. Only an experienced Architect or Contractor can sort out the information in this book and make an effective critique. In my opinion, some of the explanations are too short, leaving the student with many questions. I guess this book can be considered as a basic guide.
