"101 Things I Learned in Architecture School" by Matthew Frederick
book review by Riley Burnham 8/25/2023
very good(!!) highly recommendable hardback copy
on the subject, the hardback copy of this book is a piece of elegant design in itself, w/ a thick cardboard 'block' attached to the front & rear to allow flat-lying [works good]; very nice
the content is useful, interesting, relevant, & includes adjacent drawings to elucidate the concepts
some of the stand-outs [for me] were 'How to draw a line,' which encourages anchor points & bold strokes, rather than timid, wishy-washy, suggestive lines; as well as the pointers on positive & negative spaces...
every point in the book had relevancy, & this really does function as a primer into what a school likely teaches 👍
