Unlike any other dictionary currently available, it is entirely focused on the design aspect of architecture.

It covers everything of critical importance to those in the architecture/design field.

It also includes more than 300 biographies of well-known classic and contemporary architects and illustrative examples of their major works. Meticulously written and heavily cross-referenced, it is a unique visual resource, and the best way for any designer to gain a full understanding of a vast range of architectural elements.
