A Pattern Language: Towns, Buildings, Construction (Center for Environmental Structure Series)
from Oxford University Press, USA
Price: $40.95

Customer Review:

I bought this book after reading the glowing reviews on amazon. It was also an inspiration for Will Wright to make SimCity and the SIMS..... so I had high expectations.
I was shocked to find how opinionated and philosophical the book is. I expected the book to look at the history of cities,... more info

Google SketchUp For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))
from For Dummies
Price: $16.49

Customer Review:

The author tells you which tools to use, but not how to apply them. The book is more of an outline than a set of educational exercises or instructions. I'm finding Sketchup's help system significantly more useful.

from Wiley

Interpretation of codes sometime is confusing. With the picture to explain, it is much easier to understand than just read the words. A picture is better than a thousand words!

Detail in Contemporary Residential Architecture: Includes CD-ROM
from Laurence King Publishers
Price: $31.50

Customer Review:

An account of the 2 hours I spent flipping through this book after it arrived at my door:
1. When I saw that the intricacy of the illustration on the cover is produced by overlapping several drawings, I thought, "uh-oh."
2. After looking through a few projects, I was a little disappointed... more info

Architectural Graphics
from Wiley
Price: $26.37

Customer Review:

I know that Ching is revered in the field and is recommended by virtually all, but I'm just not feeling the love, especially for this particular book. The graphics in the book have a "sketchy" look I don't just don't find appealing or inspiring. A more serious problem is the way the information is... more info

Introducing Revit Architecture 2009: BIM for Beginners
from Sybex
Price: $26.39

Customer Review:

This is a good start for beginners, there are a lot of examples that make this a good reference to start with. One thing that i did not like was the size of the text, it was small and the window shots were very hard to read, outside of that it is a good book.
