Basics of Architectural Design

As its title suggests, Basics of Architectural Design equips designers with fundamental techniques and principles—the building blocks of their craft. It digs into the foundational elements of design while sprinkling in a healthy dose of
wit and insight. Yet, beyond technical prowess, there lies a loftier purpose. For, as the author explains, architecture isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s also about societal responsibility, cultural resonance, environmental stewardship and personal
aspirations. It’s about weaving narratives into the very fabric of our cities.
While this book covers the basics, it leaves room for individual expression. The true magic lies in what each architect chooses to do with this knowledge. Pardeep Singh Maan concedes that no manual can ever prescribe the soul of a design—the
whispered conversations between creator and context. This handy book, complete with illustrations and useful tips, will, however, go a long way in helping an aspiring architect pave his or her path.
