Architectural Lighting; the latest addition to the Architecture Briefs series; provides both a critical approach to and a conceptual framework for understanding the application of lighting in the built environment. The key considerations of lighting design are illuminated through accessible texts and instructional diagrams. Six built projects provide readers with concrete examples of the ways in which these principles are applied. Short essays by architect Steven Holl; artist Sylvain Dubuisson; and landscape architect James Corner explore the role of lighting in defining spatial compositions.

He ate this book up; actually read the opening pages himself and started drawing. I havent been able to get it out of his hands in the three days since it arrived. Easy to understand; filled with examples and humor (like the tri-colored Neopoli-Tyrannosaurus that stalks people at ice-cream stands; and "notes" from the editor throughout) and up-to-date interpretations (like feathers on some species we didnt previously picture that way) and a short discussion on the history of artists depictions of dinosaurs. The author encourages the young artist to go beyond static forms and shows how; simply and easily; to add the appearance of motion and different views of the dinosaurs- not just a standing profile. A charming; good-natured and extremely useful guide to learning to draw more realistic looking dinosaurs which I expect to see influence his ability to see line and shape and shading as his interest expands to other subjects....

The instructions are easy to follow; and the illustrations are great - even with some humor! I bought this for my 7 year-olds birthday; and he was so excited because he loves dinosaurs! Hes only been able to draw stick figure dinosaurs; so this will help him develop his love for drawing!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Helpful dinosaur drawing guide.By DesertBlossomMy son loves this book; and it helped him to draw better dinosaurs right away. He was worried it would be too "little kid"-ish for him; but it gives you examples in multiple styles; including cartoonish as well as detailed; so it works for him. I havent flipped through it much; but it appeared to be a good quality print book.
