AVA Academia

'Useful introductory book to terminology, a good starting point for research, and compact, with a good mix of visuals and text.'

Michele Thomspon, Bishop Burton College, UK

'I really liked the size of the book and the idea of an alphabet of terms. An excellent pocket reference, and visual knowledge. This would be useful for the new student just starting his/her studies in Interior Architecture/Design to build up vocabulary.'

Kim Atkins, Chichester College, UK

'The definitions are good and easy to understand but I especially like the use of supporting images as examples, moving away from the more traditional format of using drawings as examples, which is sometimes difficult to understand. Overall clear and comprehensive.'

Valerie Mace, London College of Communication, UK

'This book informs and educates students on all the relevant and common phrases and terminology of architecture in a simple and straighforward manner. The images and samples that go along with each section are very relevant and in their own way they also suggest topics for further discovery or investigation ... it's only a pity that I didn't have it at the beginning of the year!'

Padraig Cahill, Cavan Institute, Ireland

'Clear and explanatory. It covers a broad range of terms and clearly explains them.'

Veronica Hendry, University of Arts London, UK
