Bnieuws December Shortlist
READ YOUR HEART OUT What to read under the Christmas tree? You can of course read the various Faculty magazines or finally finish that one book that has been lying on your nightstand the past few months. But why not grab a fresh book on a subject that binds us all together: Architecture and the Built Environment? We present a December Shortlist with books that will warm your inner architect’s heart. Happy reading!
A hilarious compilation of various recognizable situations from the life of an architect. Drawn by Mike Hermans, ‘Maaik’, an architect turned cartoonist. His alter ego Archibald deals with project managers, colleagues, constructors, his family, and even his own designs. The gags present very recognizable situations and help to see the fun in the chaos that architecture can be sometimes.
We learn so many new things here at the Faculty. All this knowledge is spread out in seperate books, dictates, notebooks, half torn-out pages from your notepad, and maybe some scribbles on left over sketching paper. The ‘Construction and Design Manual’series by DOM Publishers offers you a solution for this mess: a beautiful series of books, each dedicated to one specific architectonic subject. Every edition offers history and theory, basic check-lists, excercises, and beautiful examples by well-known architect and firms. The drawing manuals especially are eye-candy and will make practicing your drawing skills fun.
