Children with dreams of designing buildings will discover how architects
actually work in this workbook, which builds on the concepts introduced
in The Future Architect's Handbook.
- It walks readers through the drawings created by Aaron, a young
architect building his own home.
- Going a step further, children will learn how to create their own
drawings and build a model of their design, using an included tool kit
consisting of graph paper and an architect's scale, pencil, and
drafting eraser.
- Finally, readers are challenged to design homes for a group of
imaginary clients.
- Freehand pen-and-ink drawings bring the instructions to life.
This book is the perfect introduction to what an architect does at work
and why buildings look and function as they do. Ideal for middle grades
ages 8-13, but creative adults will also find it inspiring.
