Description & Specifications

Condensed lessons in drawing, the creative process, and presentation, from the basics of "How to Draw a Line" to the complexities of color theory. This is a book that architecture students would want to have in the studio and in their backpacks. It is also a book they might want to keep away from their professors' attention, as it expresses in clear and simple language things that are often blurry and incomprehensible in class. These 101 condensed lessons in design, the creative process, and presentation provide a much-needed introduction to architectural literacy, making concrete what often remains vague or open in the architecture curriculum. Each lesson uses a two-page format, with a brief explanation and an illustration that can range from diagrammatic to humorous. The lesson on "How to Draw a Line" is accompanied by examples of good and bad lines; a lesson on the dangers of awkward floor level changes shows TV actor Dick Van Dyke at the moment of an accident; a discussion on the analog differences between traditional and modern buildings includes a drawing of a building cut cleanly in half between the two. Written by an architect and professor who remembers well the fog of his own student days, 101 Things I Learned in Architecture School provides valuable reference points for the design studio and other courses in the architecture curriculum. Architecture graduates—from young designers to experienced professionals—will turn to the book for inspiration and as a guide back to basics when solving a complex design problem.
