Description
The Fundamentals of Architecture is an introduction to the basic ideas that inform architecture. It guides students through the rich history of the discipline, and acquaints them with contemporary theory and practice.
The book explores the process of architecture starting from the initial ideas and concepts, and how these ideas are informed by an understanding of the site. It examines the impact of physical context and historical precedent on a project, and the development of structure, materials and the relationship of these practical concerns to the building process.

I think you have pitched these books just right: clear layout; accessible language; good photography; contemporary precedent that the student will relate to and the communication of the design process from inception to final communication.

Very good value. This book is exactly what is needed as a first year Architectural and Interior Design students' course book. We have already put it on the year book list.

An attractive introduction to the world of architecture and what is required of an architect ... very good for those at school considering a career choice in architecture. It is also a good general overview of thinking across the whole field of architecture. The graphic design is attractive and the images well chosen.
