The Architect's Portable Handbook: First-Step Rules of Thumb for Building Design 4/e (McGraw-Hill Portable Handbook)

As an architect is the perfect book to have in your library consider it a must

I am a senior architecture student and this book is a life saver for rules of thumb and quick look ups. Make sure you write your own helpful notes as you use it.

If you're looking for a simple quick reference, this is the book for you. For its size, it is packed with useful information. Working on projects, I find myself checking it multiple times a day - there's just so much in it that's useful to me as an architecture student, whether I'm working on class assignments or personal projects.

I'm a licensed architect that left the job market for a few years to care for my kids. This book really help refresh my memory without a whole lot to carry around. For anything a lot more extensive, you do need additional references. That is usually the case anyway.

as a recently licensed architect, this was my go-to during the proposal and planning phases of several projects. it's like having a personal mentor in my pocket, without having to go refer to all the code books... very helpful resource.

If your an architect or becoming one, or within the field, this is a must have! Simply if you don't have it, you should have ordered it yesterday period

I read it as supplement to prepare the ARE exam. Good information for beginner who has not enough experience in this field.

I wish there was a preview of the digital version. I found out the expensive way that this book is not as readable, and it is hard to navigate as well...I want my money back!
