Visual dictionary of architecture 42

Francis D. K. Ching's extensive and renowned contribution to the world of architectural drawing would be incomplete if the celebrated master had not delved into the realm of visual dictionaries. This volume offers precisely his particular contribution to the universe of architectural terminology and, moving away from conventional alphabetical dictionaries, Ching compiles a systematic visual dictionary that brings together more than 7,000 definitions organized into 66 basic concepts of architectural design. The result is a broad graphic and conceptual overview of the terminology in the field of architecture and the interrelationships established between terms. At the end of the volume, the dictionary also includes an alphabetical list in Spanish of the defined terms, as well as their translation into English and vice versa, so that the reader can also consult precise terms alphabetically. An essential, already classic, dictionary for the fields of architecture and construction.
