"Hm, sebenernya saya punya edisi yang lebih bagus karena tulisan tangan semua. Must have architect book, where you learn about basic path, scheme, order of building."
"Even with my 40 years of architectural practise I keep a copy of Frank Ching's Arch: Form, Space and Order at hand. I frequently use the book as a reference and inspiration.
The new copy replaced my 10 year old edition which I had given to my niece who will shortly start a graduate architectural program. I am stunned at how much the new edition has been enhanced and enlarged. Frank has improved his orignal book substantilaly. It feels like a new book.
"Architecture: Form, Space, & Order serves as an excellent introduction to architectural design. Ching starts with the most basic elements of geometry--points, lines, planes, volumes--and demonstrates how they can be combined and organized to create architectural forms. The book is composed mostly of illustrations with short sections of text. Each topic is introduced, discussed, and illustrated with both simple drawings and schematics along with renderings of famous architectural landmarks that demonstrate the principles in question. It should be kept in mind that the goal of the book is to examine the underlying properties of architecture (geometry, proportion, arrangement) and not to introduce architecture history or movements. If you're interested in architecture history, this is not the book to read. If you want to understand the geometry underlying architecture, this is where you should start."
