I thought it was a book filled with jokes about architecture, but turns out, it is completely filled with actual useful architecture jargon and knowledge that she actually did learn. It . great book Amazon Customer This was truly an amazing book! I was thinking of being an engineer/architect and this gave me a good preview and even tips on things i can use every day.
