Revised after 20 years in print, Winters' (art, U. of Utah) text outlines some of the most important concepts in architecture. Presented at levels of perceptual maturity applicable to adults and children alike, 53 lessons are organized into seven sections, with concepts becoming progressively intertwined from the beginning to the end of the text. Each lesson includes a brief explanation of the concept and suggested activities for its application. The text is exceptionally "visual," illustrated throughout with some 1,000 b&w drawings, diagrams, and reproductions to engage teachers, students and practicing architects as well as interested general readers. The revised edition features new lessons and 50 new illustrations of recent and planned buildings reflecting the world of 21st-century architecture. No subject index.
