5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent for students and practicing architects,
By amunsey@hotmail.com (Rhode Island, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ten Houses: Peter Forbes and Associates (Paperback)
This is perhaps the best value in pictorial architecture books. For under $20., this book has great photos, straightforeward text, clearly reproduced drawings (including construction details!!), all superbly graphically designed. Even if the architecture doesn't appeal to you, the overall presentation of it in this book will. If you do like the architecture (which I think is a beautiful modern adaption of conventional New England vernacular), then this book is a must-have. You won't find this quality in books two or three times the cost!!

This review is from: Ten Houses: Peter Forbes and Associates (Paperback)
The careful photographs compliment the equally fine details in the buildings of this excellent architect. After a year, I'm still looking at it often.

This review is from: Ten Houses: Peter Forbes and Associates (Paperback)
This is a terrific book with terrific material to present. It is part of a wonderful series. The organization, text, photos, and drawings are all excellent. More authors/publishers should learn to present architecture this well. It's a book I study often for inspiration as Forbes' work is very elegant and spare: qualities more architects should aspire to incorporate into their work, rather than the stylistic faddish gestures all too common today. This is a favorite book in my library.
