KH said Great Book for Budding Architects. I bought this book for my 9 year old son who wants to be an architect.He LOVES the book. The activities range from simple to complex, so he can pick and choose based on his mood. We've done a few of them together, which is great for us because it gives us something to bond over--mom's don't usually have that much in common with 9 year old boys, but everyone loves to draw skyscrapers. It occupies him for at least Great Book for Budding Architects I bought this book for my 9 year old son who wants to be an architect.He LOVES the book.

Booklover Jerry said Fun book to create with. I like the Archidoodle: The Architect's Activity Book. It gets the juices flowing for creating unusual and interesting buildings you otherwise never would have designed. It isn't a textbook or anything on a technical training level but it is a fun book to just create away in. For example, you are instructed to design a house by a cliff and one by a waterfall all the way to design and draw a sectional view of a house that has been influenced by a machine. Some ideas are fascinating like design a funky-looking chimney or design some ideas for domesticated animals, (other than a dog), with one idea showing a cat basket that hangs off a radiato. T. Harris said Fun for a young teen. This was a gift for my son who likes to draw. He has shown an interest in learning to draw buildings and is thinking of architectural drafting or rendering when he gets older. I though this would be a great book for him to get started on some basics and give him so activities to try on his own. He LOVES it! Lots of great examples of different parts of a building he can use to give a drawing more texture. He's 1Fun for a young teen T. Harris This was a gift for my son who likes to draw.
