Review: This book lacks a coherence and analysis that leaves the reader with the sense of an incoherent selection of arbitrary rules that are applied across all styles of buildings. The illustrations are of poor quality. The selection of illustrated abuses are often so appalling that it is often hard to see how correcting the cited rule violation would significantly improve the example.The authors have chosen to focus exclusively on appearance, and do not (often) address the structural or durability aspects of exterior design. It is the mix of practical structural/weather-tightness/utility and pleasing appearance that makes architecture such a satisfying study.The people that need to read this book most likely will not. After all they're still building McMansions aren't they?
