Praise for this book

"Architektur Konstruieren ist im besten Sinne ein Handbuch [...] das Baustoffe, Bauelemente und Strukturen vorstellt, anhand bemerkenswerter Architektur exemplifiziert und in einem breiten kulturellen Kontext verortet. Es eignet sich daher auch für interessierte Laien, die wissen wollen, wie Architektur entsteht." Neue Zürcher Zeitung

"Wer braucht also dieses Buch? Wenn Studenten es gelesen haben, sollte sie keine Klausur mehr schrecken, und außerdem hätten sie, neben den technischen Tricks, auch den Sinn der ganzen Sache begriffen. Dass das Buch lesenswert ist und es Spaß macht, darin zu stöbern, macht es auch für andere empfehlenswert." Bauwelt
