Working from real-world situations, students get first-hand guidance in solving design studio problems. The design process is discussed from programming to presentation of finished projects. Included are numerous sidebars with specific approaches to the design process, high quality line drawings and photographs.
Despite the title I wouldn’t read this until after you’ve already begun your architectural education. Not a particularly fun read if you are new to architecture and it was written like 30 years ago so the manner of publishing doesn’t particularly appeal to fresh eyes. Good information though. If you can stand to get all the way through you’ll be better for it.
