The book ‘Architecture and Learning’ is written in Bangla and English. It is extensively illustrated with diagrams and photographs, which are the common language of architects and architecture students. Nowadays, reading, listening to and viewing text on digital screens has reduced the patience for reading books. For this reason, each subject in this book has been limited to one paragraph and presented with information and pictures. To make the subject of architecture easy to understand, every piece of information has been presented using moderate words, exercise diagrams, drawings, and photographs. According to the author, this book is useful for those who do not want to read much. The interested reader will always find detailed written information on these subjects from other sources. Although it is noteworthy that no one can teach architecture, it is possible to learn it only through one's initiative. |
