Exercises in Architecture

Exercises in Architecture (2nd Edition) provides a structured practical curriculum designed to help pre-course and early-course architecture students learn to think like architects. Written for secondary school pupils, college students considering an architectural career, and self-directed learners, this textbook introduces foundational spatial concepts before students enter formal professional degree programs.

The content is organized into four main sections that focus on design fundamentals, geometry, real-world exercises, and additional practice problems. Within these thematic sections, students engage directly with key concepts such as axis alignment, doorway places, human anthropometry, social geometry, ideal geometry, and axial symmetry through targeted drawing and analytical tasks.

This 240-page print volume includes 883 black and white illustrations that visually explain geometric relationships and spatial layouts. By completing these drawing and analytical exercises, introductory learners build practical skills that support their coursework in secondary schools, colleges, or university architecture studios.
