You Be The Architect: Design Your Own Building | An Architectural Activity Book For Kids 8-12
£8.12
This book is a fantastic starting point for any child interested in designing buildings. Kids will learn architectural drawing techniques and then can apply them by drawing actual floor plans, elevations, cross-section drawings, and two-point perspective drawings on the templates provided. Prolific architect/writer/publisher/voice actor, Albert B. Squid pens this book, like most of his books, in the second-person perspective, allowing the reader/participant to become Squid’s architectural assistant as he slowly guides the reader/participant, step by step in creating architectural drawings for a fictitious client. This book helps future architects and designers to gain confidence and to expand their creative horizons, to experience the wonders of architectural design while being immersed in the world of artistic expression.

Not very good, more of a colouring book
