I bought this book for my 14 year old granddaughter who has wanted to be an architect since she played with her first set of blocks. This book will be invaluable to her. It is comprehensive and beautifully organized. What a gift the author has given to the field and to those who want to pursue architecture as a profession. I’d give it 100 stars if I could.
