101 THINGS I LEARNED IN ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL is a book that students of architecture will want to keep in the design studio and in their backpacks. It is also a book they may want to keep out of view of their professors, for it expresses in clear and simple language the things they tend to make murky and abstruse. These 101 concise lessons in design, drawing, the creative process, and presentation--from the basics of how to draw a line to the complexities of color theory--provide a much-needed primer in architectural literacy and make concrete what too often is left nebulous and open-ended in the architecture curriculum.

Like all books in the popular and celebrated 101 THINGS I LEARNED® book series, the lessons in 101 THINGS I LEARNED IN ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL utilize a unique two-page format, with a brief explanation and accompanying illustration. A lesson on how to draw a line is accompanied by examples of good and bad lines; a lesson on awkward floor level changes shows the television actor Dick Van Dyke in the midst of a pratfall; and a discussion of the proportional differences between traditional and modern buildings features a building split neatly in half between the two.

Written by an architect and instructor who well remembers the fog of his own student days, 101 THINGS I LEARNED IN ARCHITECTURE SCHOOL provides valuable guideposts for students navigating the architectural design studio and the rest of the architecture curriculum. Architecture graduates, from young designers to experienced practitioners, will turn to the book as well for inspiration and a guide back to basics when solving complex design problems.

《我在建筑学院学到的101件事》是一本建筑系学生希望放在设计室和背包里的书。这也是一本他们可能希望放在教授视野之外的书，因为它用清晰和简单的语言表达了他们倾向于使之变得模糊和深奥的东西。这101节关于设计、绘图、创作过程和展示的简明课程--从如何画线的基础知识到复杂的色彩理论--提供了一个亟需的建筑知识入门课程，并使建筑课程中经常留下的模糊和开放的东西变得具体。

如同广受欢迎的《我学到的101件事》系列丛书中的所有书籍一样，《我在建筑学院学到的101件事》中的课程采用了独特的两页格式，有简短的解释和附带的插图。在关于如何画线的课程中，附有好的和坏的线条的例子；在关于尴尬的楼层变化的课程中，电视演员迪克-范-戴克（Dick Van Dyke）正处于跌倒的状态；在讨论传统和现代建筑之间的比例差异时，有一个建筑被整齐地分成两半。

我在建筑学院学到的101件事》由一位建筑师和教师撰写，他清楚地记得自己学生时代的迷雾，为学生在建筑设计工作室和建筑课程的其他部分提供了宝贵的指导意见。建筑学毕业生，从年轻的设计师到有经验的从业者，在解决复杂的设计问题时，也会从这本书中寻找灵感和回归基本的指导。
