Well it’s not really a book about diagrams. Are there diagrams in it? Sure, but I was hoping for quality content covering various architectural diagrams. The author might have just made all of the diagrams or perhaps copy and pasted some. Either way it’s not good and it covers a very very small sector of the world of architectural diagrams. I wouldn’t recommend this book, in fact I donated my copy to a thrift store.If you’re looking for a quality architectural diagram book go with Precedents in Architecture instead—that’s if you want a legit scholarly experience. I love that book. It’s straight black ink on paper. Or for a more step-by-step book in color you could check out Diagramming the Big Idea—the organization isn’t great (it’s actually sort of confusing) but I promise you will be exposed to high quality content and detailed diagrammatic analysis. Sadly you will not encounter any of this with the book under review here.Good collection of diagrams. Works well as an inspirational reference when trying to communicate design ideas. However, could be so much better!! Needs better editing, better writing, and more text explaining the graphics! Not sure that it's worth the money.Amazing book, good ilustrations and chapters. The only one flaw is its short introduction that would be longer with more historical references.But It is a good bookSebben piuttosto costoso, questo libro è molto ben fatto. Utilissimo in fase concorsuale e pratico nella ricerca. Gli esempi sono chiari ed interessantiOttimo per avere spunti in fase di elaborazione grafica, sarebbe ancor più utile se avesse qualche informazione in più sui progetti mostratiダイアグラムを考えるときの参考としてパラパラめくるのに使ってます。説明文とかは少ないので解説読むというよりは図や色使い、配置の参考などに使用するのがよいと思います。
