Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Need a handbook to your architect's business or studies? Struggling with your latest DIY project? Interested in the art of architecture? This classic work, now in its fifth edition, covers every aspect of architecture and landscape architecture. Ranging from ancient times to contemporary trends, it adopts a truly international perspective, focussing on countries and cultures such as Coptic, Tibet and De Stijl. Without doubt, this is the standard work in the field. As reflected by its new title, 'The Penguin Dictionary of Architecture and Landscape Architecture' has now been expanded to include recent developments in the field of landscape architecture. Full account has been taken, too, of the huge range of building traditions around the world. The text has been completely reset and all the illustrations redrawn. 'Immensely useful, succinct and judicious...this is a book rich in fact and accumulated wisdom.' - 'The Times Literary Supplement'.

This book is quite useful throughout your entire career. You can look up words in it like a dictionary or read it like a book just to widen your vocabulary on architecture. By using the exact vocabulary, your speech and writings will sound more professional and convey the message precisely.

I would have liked it to be more objective and less judgemental in places. It's possible to do so and still convey the message that a design or an artist was over rated or not very good. But, this is only the case in some instances. I love rounded corners and the design and soft texture of the cover. A few more line illustrations and contextural outlines would also be nice. A good reference to have if you enjoy art and architecture or if you travel.

From Aalto to Ziggurat, the bounty of information provided in this well illustrated and value priced volume will keep you informed for a very long time. A great general reference of architecture and landscaping for both the student and the home owner alike.
