Architect’s Illustrated Pocket Dictionary – Customer reviews
February 15, 2011
 |
Architect’s Illustrated Pocket Dictionary by Nikolas Davies & Erkki Jokiniemi is a brand new book from Architectural Press covering everything from abaciscus to zophorus. We have had some good feedback from customers that have enjoyed reading and using the book:
“An essential tool for architects and builders practicing across a language barrier, but it is equally indispensable for anyone teaching architecture or writing about it. In addition to its role as a working instrument, the book is a suggestive presentation of the concepts, elements, materials, processes and tools of construction.” Juhani Pallasmaa Architect SAFA, Hon. FAIA, Int FRIBA Professor of Architecture Emeritus, Helsinki “The handy, portable sizing allows the reader to impress friends & colleagues at every opportunity with the broad Architectural knowledge this book imparts.” Andrew Riley, SJR Architects, Hartlepool, UK “The compact format and simple layout allows for easy and efficient use either in the office or out at a site/meeting. I really like the illustrations to highlight certain elements and the broad range of items covered from tools to historic forms to architectural theory. This makes it interesting purely to flick through as well as a functional reference – current favourite term is ‘slash conk’!.” Michael Kaner, Director – kaner olette architects, Tunbridge Wells, UK Click here to visit the book’s dedicated microsite on Architectural Press.com |
