Bri: Fantastic for learning how to draw and format section drawings as well as quick info on the buildings drawn. Bought this for myself and it quickly became the most borrowed book in studio.

Familia PombalinaFamilia Pombalina: Especialmente editado para amantes del dibujo arquitectónico, este libro nos aproxima a la técnica del corte en sección de una maravillosa selección de edificios emblemáticos, con una esmerada selección de arquitectos, pasando por Alvar Aalto, Le Corbusier, Alvaro Siza, Toyo Ito, Lloyd Wright y la sensibilidad de Lina Bo Bardi…

El libro consta de tres partes:
_ Una introducción inicial de 39 páginas, repasando algunos hitos históricos y las técnicas más usadas en la creación de secciones.
_ La parte principal del libro, con 144 páginas, donde encontramos una sola sección de 63 edificios, ocupando dos páginas completas cada uno, con dibujos que siguen una misma edición, mucha claridad de imagen y una buena calidad de detalles, incluyendo una pequeña descripción de la obra.
_ Anexos con diversos índices y una muestra de las obras realizadas por el estudio “LTL Architects”, promotores de este libro.

Libro imprescindible para estudiantes de arquitectura y delineación, aunque también recomendado para amantes del dibujo técnico y la construcción en general.
Muy satisfecho con esta compra.
¡Saludos!

JianJian: A book make me know how to read others’ section, how to draw a useful section and see architecture design from another perspective. Read one section per day and write notes on it with pencil, love it.

Gerardo Adrián Flores RojasGerardo Adrián Flores Rojas: Una selección grandiosa de edificios y autores representada por la visualización de vista en sección o corte. Este libro nos permite comprender los proyectos de una forma mucho más técnica e impersonal. Para los arquitectos es invaluable y lo recomiendo ampliamente.

Paul london: Amazing! If you an architect student or interested in Architecture this is the first book you should buy. It shows you simple but elegant sections which explains how famous buildings work and a very good example of how to drawer a building.

United Kingdom on Mar 22, 2018

Duby Collins: This is a great premise for a book– a kind of utilitarian, X-ray vision to study iconic examples of architecture. Some of these buildings you'll know well, but you'll be able to see them from the inside out. There's something mesmerizing about these drawings, akin to the fascination of see-through books of the human body– the invisible man– with layers showing arteries, muscles, veins, etc. Not least, the drawings are lucid and consistent, allowing an unfiltered transparency that is uniform regardless of the individual building.

j Floyd: Received this book this morning, and it is great for the price. The negatives - Paper quality is not great and the sections are all interrupted by the crease in the middle of the book.

However, there is a good deal of content that covers a lot of buildings and types and the intro essays are fun. Drawings are generally pretty detailed and fun to look at. Overall, it is a good reference book to have in your library, especially for the price.
