If you’re a new Architecture student then you’ve probably had your orientation and you’re just about to start the educational process of ‘Becoming an architect’<\/p>\n

This post is to give a few books that may help you along the way; I’ll give a mini-critique on each and say who I think the book would be most useful for…:<\/p>\n

1. The Architecture School Survival Guide:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Available at: https:\/\/www.ribabookshops.com\/item\/the-architecture-school-survival-guide\/86380\/<\/a> Not sure if you can get this in the RIAI Bookshop<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A great little book; very punchy, full of ideas, concepts, hints & tips – highly recommended for a first year student beginning architecture.<\/p>\n

2. What An Architecture Student Should Know<\/strong><\/p>\n

Available at: https:\/\/www.ribabookshops.com\/item\/what-an-architecture-student-should-know\/82177\/<\/a><\/p>\n

A little bit verbose for a beginner ; it does however give great guidance ‘behind the scenes’ on how a crit does and ideally should work. In fact I think this is great reading if you are a lecturer rather than a student as it’s written in quite an ‘academic’ way.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

3. The Architecture Concept Book<\/strong><\/p>\n

Available at: https:\/\/www.ribabookshops.com\/item\/the-architecture-concept-book-an-inspirational-guide-to-creative-ideas-strategies-and-practices\/92305\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Every architectural idea should have a ‘Primary Generator’ <\/em> and this books gives guidance on where you can find inspiration on what this could be in the form of: <\/p>\n

ASSESS: Wonder \u2022 Environment \u2022 Disorder \u2022 Memory \u2022 Function \u2022 Form \u2022 Irony \u2022 Politics<\/p>\n

ANALYSE: Walk \u2022 Influence \u2022 Reclaim \u2022 Respect \u2022 Obscure \u2022 Heroize \u2022 Improve \u2022 Improvise<\/p>\n

ASSEMBLE: Floor \u2022 Wall \u2022 Structure \u2022 Roof \u2022 Door \u2022 Fa\u00e7ade \u2022 Stair \u2022 Services<\/p>\n

AUGMENT: Review \u2022 Diagram \u2022 Optimize \u2022 Economize \u2022 Colour \u2022 Contrast \u2022 Scale \u2022 Craft<\/p>\n

Probably a bit too much for a first year architecture student – I’d hold this one back until things are getting tougher in the latter years of the course.<\/p>\n

You can read more about the ‘Primary Generator’ and other ‘Tips for Architecture Students’ HERE<\/a><\/p>\n

4. 101 Things I Learned in Architecture School<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can get this via the RIAI Bookshop – details on how to order HERE<\/a> or the RIBA Bookshop HERE<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is my favourite as it’s an ideal starter for any architecture student and contains key architectural concepts, hints & tips alongside easy to understand explanations and illustrations. It’s also a perfect size to keep alongside you while you work and dip in and out of as required.<\/p>\n

There’s a preview of the book HERE<\/a><\/p>\n

Best of luck to all the architecture students across the world. Stick at it!<\/p>\n

ps I may be teaching a bit more this year so I’ve bought all of the above to give me some guidance too!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
