Archispeak: An Illustrated Guide to Architectural Terms

This book is very well presented and clear; very useful for students of architecture in their early years of study. It covers a comprehensive range of words used frequently in the discourse of architecture.

Archi-speak is a great resource to use if your a uni student (such as myself) as it aids your understanding of terminology. It's easy and quick to reference.

a better read than you'd expect. a great source of information and terminology. I give it my 2 thumbs up!

While this book claims to be "illustrated", it's illustrations are very small, and pretty worthless on the point of view of an Architect, as in, there are no illustrations for terms such as "parasitic architecture", but there is an illustration for the term "fibonacci sequence". This book also does not cover terms for description of architectural features such as gable-end, corbel, etc. I found this book to be deeply disappointing and also smaller than expected being a A5 size (which may explain the very undersized and sparse illustrations).

The item was exactly as described and arrived before my son started his degree course in Architecture, so everyone's happy
