Review: Solid framework of practical knowledge - Practical knowledge which can benefits practical architects and architectural consultants a lot. When I was undergraduate school, I did something like “problem seeking” for studio project, but I did not know this book at that time, I remember that progress was messy and intuitive. I hope I could read this book earlier.
Review: Illustration - It was something I was looking to have and read for my license exams for nearly 10 years, I am very happy I bought it and can’t stop reading it for its has been written in a good way that make it very clear to understand and memorize

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Precious, but BIM-topics are very few
*by E***N on October 24, 2013*

If you aren't really engaged in programming stage of design process this book looks too simple. But these "mind techniques" become very powerful if you play a real game.
