Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I ordered this book because I need to know things about how to design a home. I wanted specifics--how long of a span can you do with certain joists, what kind of supports do I need under the concrete; you get the idea. The book is much more about the theory of how you arrange the kitchen, what kind of windows you can use, etc. I was disappointed from the first chapter, where it recommends what kind of paper and t-square you need. I hope more people are using CAD than this author believes. The last chapter has advice on how to pick your architect. I thought the book was about being your own architect! The book was too general, and the title misleading.
