If you aren’t really engaged in programming stage of design process this book looks too simple. But these “mind techniques” become very powerful if you play a real game.

Very excellent update version to a architectural programming classic book. More owner need to read and understand the valve of architectural programming.

I purchased this book because it was recommended reading for one of the seven architectural exams I need to pass to become an architect. The book is very well written and is full of information that I didn’t need on the test, but I will definitely use in my career. In the middle of the book it becomes a little long winded and wordy, but the information the book provides is invaluable. I recommend it highly!

Im sure it is good for anyone interested in this field, however, it is very information heavy so I found it a struggle to read

Practical knowledge which can benefits practical architects and architectural consultants a lot. When I was undergraduate school, I did something like “problem seeking” for studio project, but I did not know this book at that time, I remember that progress was messy and intuitive. I hope I could read this book earlier.
