Features: This book compiles hundreds of outstanding architectural exterior design works, with many of them accompanied by floor plans, and some even include multi-angle exterior images and surrounding environment photos, aiming to provide readers with a complete and accurate visual and structural representation. A successful architectural design work is inseparable from the finishing touches of its details. The clever design of each architectural component is a necessary condition for forming a unified architectural whole. By analyzing a large number of examples in each category, one can well summarize numerous design principles and insights. The author deeply experienced this during their studies in architecture. Whenever faced with project design concepts, especially when dealing with the finer details of the scheme, a significant amount of time and effort was often required to consult extensive design materials. Although this led to the accumulation of thick design notes, it was always felt that efficiency was not guaranteed. This was the seed of the idea to compile this illustrated dictionary.
