Louis Hellman's unique method of describing the work of an architect by drawing their head in the style of their building is known the world over. The drawings have been an enormous success, and have been converted into postcards, posters, and calendars, yet this is the first time they will be displayed in a book.
The ABC's of architecture. From cave-dwelling to skyscraper, Louis Hellman, architect, cartoonist and RIBA gadfly, gives us the blueprint. Buildings are the 'art we live in', occupying our space, time and vision. Temples, pyramids, cathedrals, apartment-blocks and petrol stations. The styles, materials, inventions the good and the bad of architecture, are clearly explained. From Palladio to Le Corbusier, Bauhaus, town-planners, bureaucrats and commuters. Past, present and maybe a future!
In this alphabet of architectural terms each letter has its own chapter with a series of drawings and a small amount of text illustrating architectural terms and definitions. Everyone that has ever bought any of Hellman?s work or seen his regular strip in the Architectural Journal will be fascinated by this colourful, informative and fun volume. It?s an interesting and engaging guide through the architectural process and the huge range of factors which affect the building in its development and design. He intrigues and informs the reader by explaining the development of the architectural process. Hellman?s work is internationally renowned within the field of architecture and has enduring popularity with all divisions of the profession.

She demonstrates that many familiar ideas about when discrimination is wrongÑwhen it is motivated by prejudice, grounded in stereotypes, or simply departs f...
