This book is one of the best reference books an architect will ever use. It contains the necessary information for the beginning and advanced architect. Inside the 568 pages in this book one will find from the most basic to the highly complex architectural graphics. The book provides reference for the various arcchitectural plans such as the floor plan, elevation and perspective drawings. No other reference material can surpass the amount of information provided in this excellent book.
I am a fourth year architecture student and I use this book every semester. I keep it with me at all times. It is the perfect design handbook. If you don't have it, You need it!
The book is great for any student of Architectural Design.I am impacted by the detail of the work.I enjoy Architecture and Building Design, and the book is intellectually pleasing.I recommend this book to anybody, as it is a quality publication.
I am an architecture student and the one thing that my school lacks is teachers telling you about the construction details, graphics, dimensions, etc. This book I bought a few months back and I am currently reading it literally like a bible. It has the right amount of information that students can easily understand and apply them to studio projects or their work place. The drawings in the book are detailed and properly labeled, there is no confusion what so ever. this is a must have for students entering the architecture arena.
Currently in the third year of studies in Architecture Science, from the very first chapter dealing with anthropometrics and its obvious importance to human interaction within a given space and other detailed chapters of building construction this book is an invaluable guide for my discipline. If you have the money for the non-student tenth edition of Architectural Graphiic Standards by all means that maybe the ultimate guide but this 9th edition student version is a good alternative.
