Judging from the amount of time he spent poring over it during the holidays, this was a great book and very interesting for a non-professional.

I tutor an Architectural Group of my local University of the Third Age and am always interested to see new ways of introducing lay people to the subject. Francis Ching’s book takes an unusual approach which adds a new dimension to the methods of teaching people the principles and pleasures of architectural design.

Very nice book but was delivered with no protection inside the packaging so front cover was a bit scratched and damaged. Disappointing, since could be very easily avoided with some rudimentary packaging.
