As I mentioned in my previous review, this is a truly wonderful book. Whenever I open it up and look through the sketches here and there, even though they are famous places I haven't visited, they feel incredibly familiar and make me want to go there. I think I would find myself stopping in hallways that everyone else walks past without a second thought to look around and see if the sketches I saw match the real thing.

Original: http://blair.kr/221477344851 [Charm Maker's Book Chat] This book is like an exhibition where you can view actual photos of famous buildings alongside hand-drawn illustrations of the real thing. I really loved this book because the explanations of its diverse content—culture, history, architectural technology, cross-sections, floor plans, related figures, photos, art, and life—felt like a docent's guide.:) The book is divided into five major categories: Public Life, Monuments, Arts and

I am interested in architectural design rather than the architecture itself. You might ask what the difference is, but I like flat designs filled with lines—designs where the form is not yet complete, and textures like cement, marble, or the like are left unaccompanied. Perhaps because I learned CAD a long time ago and even did drafting work as a part-timer, this book made my heart flutter right from the cover. I turned the page. A photograph of a building (which I later realized was the

I am really looking forward to this book because it allows you to explore landmarks and historic sites around the world through projected cross-sections and floor plans, even without visiting them in person. It also introduces the behind-the-scenes stories and historical facts of the buildings, so I think it would be great to read it with my elementary school-aged son, who is very interested in architecture.

Anyone interested in art and mythology is bound to be interested in the related architecture. This means one cannot help but pay close attention to architecture—the vessel that contains art and mythology (or religion), which occupy a significant part of human history—as seen in the Parthenon in Athens, Florence's Duomo and Giotto's Bell Tower, France's Palace of Versailles, and the Louvre Museum. However, I admit that I have rarely considered architecture in isolation. When encountering a

I believe that drawing by hand means examining a building more closely and attentively than simply looking at it in a certain way. I also tend to sketch in that manner. I am looking forward to seeing how this book explores and understands architecture, and just imagining it is enjoyable!

While there are some familiar buildings included, there are also many I am hearing about for the first time, which makes this book even more appealing. I am really looking forward to it because I think it will be a comfortable read for not only architecture students but also the general public, featuring illustrations that are more human and warm than real photographs.

It feels truly refreshing to encounter famous architectural landmarks I have already visited or wish to see in the future through such vivid photos and illustrations. My interest in architecture was sparked after visiting the Sagrada Familia, and this book is useful for gaining insight into the social contexts behind buildings that I was previously unaware of. It is an enjoyable read.

Both the illustrations and the photos are beautiful. The illustrations are delicate, and the photos are dazzling. Since both the author and the translator are experts, I can read it with confidence. I am not an expert myself, but just looking at the book introduction or brief description, it looks interesting, and I think I could read it even without much architectural knowledge.
