Writing Architecture: A Practical Guide to Clear Communication about the Built Environment

I came across this book by reading "Writing about Architecture (Alexandera Lange)" first.Prof. Lange's book is really a good book; likewise, this book is also awesome.Prof. Lange focuses on 'style' and Prof. Wiseman on 'clarity'.Hence, Prof. Lange's book is 'what to say' book and Prof. Wiseman's book 'how to write' book.If a prospect reader is interested in structuring architecture perspective and writing style,Prof. Lange's Book will serve the purpose, however, if a prospect reader is interested inbolts and nuts of delivering the thesis Prof. Wiseman's Book will do the job.Whereas Prof. Lange's book focuses mostly on newspaper critics (Mumford, Huxtable, Muschamp,Goldberger, Kamin, Sorkin), Prof. Wiseman's book focuses on diverse fields of writers (critics, scholars,literary authors, professionals). Latter is broader in that sense.In either case, both books teach architects that words could be as useful as models and drawingsin expressing the ideas. We are lucky to have both books published recently.

I wish I had this book as I was writing my thesis. Well worth it for grad students.

Love love love

Great book for working architects on writing clearly to better monetize your work. A must-read for students of architecture.

sorry but pretty mediocre and really really boring

A book which tells what all should be looked at while writing it

Yes this was very useful I usually write about art and culture and felt inadequate to writing about architecture which I was asked to dobut this book made me realise that the way I wrote about it (the way I write about art and culture) was ok and lots of good general writing tips too !

Amazing book! Quite interesting to read and have a good perspective on Writing Architecture.
