Children with dreams of designing buildings will discover how
architects actually work in this workbook, which builds on the
concepts introduced in The Future Architect's Handbook. It walks
readers through the drawings created by Aaron, a young architect
building his own home. Going a step further, children will learn
how to create their own drawings and build a model of their design,
using an included tool kit consisting of graph paper and an
architect's scale, pencil, and drafting eraser. Finally, readers
are challenged to design homes for a group of imaginary clients.
Freehand pen-and-ink drawings bring the instructions to life. This
book is the perfect introduction to what an architect does at work
and why buildings look and function as they do. Ideal for middle
grades ages 8-13, but creative adults will also find it inspiring.
