Understanding Architecture Book by Akheel Khan
Author: Akheel Khan, South Africa

The first book in the What is Architecture" series, Understanding Architecture is a unique insight into the meaning, heritage, and purpose of this ancient craft. Dispelling with the tendency for architecture theory books to be pompous and cryptic, this book instead unfolds as a story.
It is a simple journey of someone walking home who discovers that their steps soon form a path and that path develops a life of its own. The author captures this journey in an easy-to-read manner with hand-drawn illustrations to bring the concepts together. Something that can be appreciated by student, professional, and novice alike.
