Lee Gray, after I told him that I wanted to gain a basic understand of design before I read some of the other books that are on my 'design' shelf.
Ching is the perfect introduction to design. Ching walks the reader through elementary design concepts starting with points and lines, and ending with hierarchy and datum as methods of order. For someone with no prior knowledge o This book was recommended to my by a former professor and friend, Dr. For someone with no prior knowledge of design, it was nice to have basic concepts explained so clearly.
Ching also does well at building the vocabulary of the subject. Often times half the battle of learning a subject is just understanding the vocabulary that goes along with it. Plus, I really love the way that architects talk about buildings. Here's my favorite example; "The orderly rows of columns also punctuate the spatial volume, mark off modular zones within the spatial field, and establish a measurable rhythm and scale which make the spatial dimensions comprehensive.
The numerous illustrations also helped me grasp some of the concepts that could not be explained by words. The lettering is also an original creation done by hand. Today you can find the letter from this book as the font "tekton. Feb 05, Zoha Trabelsi rated it liked it Shelves: educational , architecture , read-in , books-i-own , to-reread.

Very simple, easy to read. Highly recommended for all architecture students. Nov 11, S. I wish I had discovered this one during my years of studying architecture. It is still a reference to which I go back every now and then to refresh my memory. I would recommend it to every architecture student, or anyone related to the industry A precious one! Done finally! First read book on architecture shelf!
Great book as an introduction to architecture with super amazing sketches! I learn so much with Ching's easy vocabularies and useful sketching techniques. I think this book is good for beginners in the field among Ching's writing style which may be the simplest one. I suppose that I will come back to this book from time to time -beside reading Ching's other books of course.
The quotes that Ching's starts every chapter with are wonderful! That is construction. Ingenuity is at work. But suddenly, you touch my heart, you do me good. Art enters in. My house is practical. I thank you, as I might thank Railway engineers, or the Telephone service. You have not touched my heart. But suppose that walls rise toward heaven in such a way that I am moved.
I perceive your intentions. Your mood has been gentle, brutal, charming, or noble. The stones you have erected tell me so. You fix me to the place and my eyes regard it. They behold something which expresses a thought. A thought which reveals itself without wood or sound, but solely by means of shapes which stand in a certain relationship to one another.
These shapes are such that they are clearly revealed in light. The relationships between them have not necessarily any reference to what is practical or descriptive. They are a mathematical creation of our mind. They are the language of Architecture. By the use of raw materials and starting from conditions more or less utilitarian, you have established certain relationships which have aroused my emotions.

The original edition of this study introduced the student of architecture to form and space and the principles that guide their ordering in the built environment. Form and space are the critical means of architecture comprising a design vocabulary that is both elemental and timeless. The second edition continued to be a comprehensive primer on the ways form and space are interrelated and organized in the shaping of our environment, and was refined by editing the text and incorporating diagrams for greater clarity, adding selected examples of architectural works, expanding the sections on openings, stairways, and scale, and finally, by including a glossary and an index to designers.
The book is illustrated throughout to demonstrate the concepts presented, and show the relationships between fundamental elements of architecture through the ages and across cultures. Ching eBook PDF. Download Book.
