Architecture for Teens: A Beginner's Book for Aspiring Architects Paperback – 23 March 2021

Recommended

This was a gift for a 14 year old grandson that when I asked what he was thinking about for a career, he said, "Architecture". Well, I've always loved architecture so we had a discussion of the ins and outs of the profession, and it seemed like he was serious. So I got him this book. He's an avid reader, so he went through it in a couple of days. His mom told me he wanted to be a "Principal Architect". I said "I don't even know what that is, LOL". So I guess that's a recommendation. I didn't get a chance to page through it, I sent it directly to him.

This book is for my granddaughter who wants to be an architect, I was amazed there is such a book on the market, hopefully she will enjoy it.

I first became flustered to find out how much you have to know to become an architect, but the book laid out nicely what are the first steps to be taken and various fields of architecture. Many photos in the book also helped. The book is nicely colored and visually appealing.

Content is very updated. Personally, I like the sections interviewing current architect on daily life of an architect and why did they choose architecture as their career. It helps teens (and also parents) to understand more and sense if they are prone towards.
