Archidoodle: An Architect's Activity Book

Really great prompts, creative but still practical, would really recommend!

Great book if you want to take your drawing skills up to a next level. Full of useful tips and advise for all levels of artists. Really recommend

Bought this book for my 11 year old niece but would suit ages around that and older. Just enough text to inspire, without the tedium of wading through too much technical jargon and inspiring projects to complete, covering lots of settings.

An amazing book, really varied activities with a mix of detailed tasks as well as silly 'go wild' drawing tasks too. Also quite informative as it teaches you about different architectural elements on the page in a simple format. Great gift.

Nothing to dislike ... I love the knowledge shared in the book and the encouragement - for all ages to create (even if the ambition of a teenager to be an architect 'wanes' ) on the blank pages of the book (as that is what they are there for) - if he hasn't as yet been to Barcelona - or Dubai ... and when he does (when all 'this Covid stuff' is over) he will look at the architecture- hopefully look at it with a more appreciative eye

Excellent quality, full of interesting information and ideas, lots of different activities suggested on each page with plenty of room to doodle - love this book 10/10 would recommend

Loads of fun activities! Perfect gift for budding architects.

The book was new but the pages looked faded. Drawings to be copied or finished are too intricate for younger students. For 14 +

I like the Archidoodle: The Architect's Activity Book. It gets the juices flowing for creating unusual and interesting buildings you otherwise never would have designed. It isn't a textbook or anything on a technical training level but it is a fun book to just create away in. For example, you are instructed to design a house by a cliff and one by a waterfall all the way to design and draw a sectional view of a house that has been influenced by a machine. Some ideas are fascinating like design a funky-looking chimney or design some ideas for domesticated animals, (other than a dog), with one idea showing a cat basket that hangs off a radiator. Some thought-provoking ones too like using a mountain slope, design in section the arrangement of a small thermal bath house and you are asked to consider views, light and privacy. So it can go from designing something simple to the very complex. I recommend this book to any novice architect, but I also recommend this to any pro out there too, because this book will get you to open up your skills and design things you might have never designed otherwise. There are plenty of buildings, cities and houses to design as well. One bobble is that most scenes are set so one is a little limited by set scenes to draw a building or a city, but that too is a challenge I kind of like since it makes you think about how to overcome a set scene and yet still design a great house, building or city. Just keep in mind this is a fun book to just create in. I love this book and I think you will too.

El libro es muy lindo! Originalmente lo compré como un regalo para un amigo de la universidad, pero al verlo definitivamente tuve que comprar otro para mí también, está pensado para fomentar la creatividad a la hora de diseñar, y los bocetos del libro son fascinanes. Ojo, no es un libro de dibujo técnico, es para soltar la mano y la imaginación, (no forzosamente para alguien que estudie arquitectura o diseño). Lo recomendaría completamente, vale muchísimo la pena.

Bought for my neice who loved it.

Shows different techniques.

My son-in-law loves this book!
