This is the most accessible architectural theory book that exists. Korydon Smith presents each common architectural subject – such as tectonics; use; and site – as though it were a conversation across history between theorists by providing you with the original text; a reflective text; and a philosophical text. He also introduces each chapter by highlighting key ideas and asking you a set of reflective questions so that you can hone your own theory; which is essential to both your success in the studio and your adaptability in the profession. These primary source texts; which are central to your understanding of the discipline; were written by such architects as Le Corbusier; Robert Venturi; and Adrian Forty. The appendices also have guides to aid your reading comprehension; to help you write descriptively; analytically; and disputationally; and to show you citation styles and how to do library-based research. More than any other architectural theory book about the great thinkers; Introducing Architectural Theory teaches you to think as well.

3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. This is only the solo bookBy JanbThis is only the solo book; the accompaniment book is sold separately. I had a hard time finding it since they are not paired together and it is not "suggested." I finally found it under "Classic Festival Solos: Trombone; Vol. 1- Piano Accompaniment"0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good student bookBy ArushtonI love these solos. Piano accompaniment is adequate and not too difficult for a teacher to play for his students.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
