Methods & Materials Editorial Review

This 285-page guide to architecture has been Considered by readers as valuable for the non-professional, giving a good introductory overview of architectural history. The book's glossary, defining hundreds of architectural terms, figures, and styles has been praised by readers. It has also been noted that the book's broad scope may not be detailed enough for some readers but complements other introductory books such as 'Invitation to Architecture' by Max Jacobson. Readers have found the content interesting and not overwhelming with technical jargon. However, the price has been noted by some as expensive, leading to a suggestion that it would make a great gift for an adult or high school student with a budding interest in architecture.
