Interior Graphic and Design Standards

5 stars (One of the best.) - A very informative and usefull book for all designers. 1 stars (DO NOT BUY! it's hard to imagine a more worthless book) - This book is a fiasco. As a professional in commercial space planning for many years, I picked it up based on a 'glowing review'. I find another few good ratings here on-line. The authors mother must be writing them, because no one who actually attempted to verify the faulty and incomplete information within, could ever see this tome as worth the paper upon which it is printed. One reviewer was accurate though; it isn't a bad door stop. 3 stars ( Interior Graphic and Design Standards ) - This is a very good book. Deals with the in and out of the interior design standards ...

Landscape Graphics- Plan- Section- and Perspective Drawing Landscape Spaces

3 stars (Offer some alternatives please....) - Just a note to 'john of a world class architectual firm'. Good to read an honest critique. I agree to a certain point. Yet as a student of landscape architecture, I am always on the lookout for quaility publications and learning tools. What publications have you read or currently refer to in your practice? Any help is good help in my opinion... Thanks jasonandanna@slingshot.co.nz 3 stars (The reviews below are for the OLD edition.) - I agree with the reviewers below that the older edition (1987) has very outdated graphics. However, in trying to find out if this newer edition (2002) is improved, I was unable to do so since there are no reviewers of this edition. I do not understand why Amazon transferred the reviews from the old edition to this newer one. (Note that reviews below are dated before the 2002 publication date of this edition.) If anyone knows if this edition is improved (or not), please post a review! Thanks. 4 stars (Landscape Designer) - This book is used as a text book at several univerities and Community colleges. It is a basic text that alows a student to learn to draw graphics and symbols. The excersize in the back of the book are very helpful when first learning to draft graphics. It does not address computer graphics. If you want to produce those kinds of plans it is best to take a course in computer graphics. When first learning to draw graphics one has to start somewhere. This book does a great job! ...
