Architecture

[aussiedeza]

Hi people, just looking for some advice on studying architecture for illustration/environment concepts, I have already bought stupidly bought this book building construction illustrated not sure what i was thinking pobably that it was a newer version of this Visual-Dictionary-Architecture-Francis-Ching

Anyway anyone have some recommendations for me... books/websites?, it would be great.
Cheers

Look up Hugh Feriss . . . his work inspired Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow! . . . okay bad example but he's an architect with really mad skills.

The Metropolis of Tomorrow (this is the better of the two!!!)
and
Power in Buildings

hope this helps

i googled that visual dictionary of architecture.

found this: http://visual.merriam-webster.com/ar...chitecture.php

now, if only it had more content. i'd like to find a torrent of that book, or more online examples. any idea if ching's Architecture Form, Space and Order is similar or it just 2d stuff?

sorry if i didn't help you at all, but maybe this'll help keep the thread alive, i'd like to find a good source too.
