13 Architects Children Should Know

My 31 year old son is becoming an architect & I always give him a children's book for Christmas...this was perfect!

Before I even got to read it a neighbor boy of 15 borrowed it because he dreams of being an architect. He was so excited with the book andtold me which architect he thought was special. I enjoyed the book because I'm a retired History teacher and had studied architecture whenI was young. Reading the book makes me want to find out more about the history of each period the particular architect lived. Some were BC.There has been alot going on before our current civilization was developed.

I bought this for my granddaughter for her ninth birthday. She wants to be an architect. She reads well for her age and was very interested in reading the history of the architects reviewed. It was a perfect gift for her.

My 12 year old grandson really likes these books. They are easy to understand & beautifully illustrated

It was a gift. It was well received by a retired architect. It is meant for him to read with his grandchildren. I bought it because of the combination of great pictures and the accompanying commentary which is interesting to all. I was especially glad that Zaha Hadid was included!

My 11 year old daughter thought it was a little babyish, but the information is great, and she's pretty advanced. I think it would be really appropriate for most 5th-6th graders.

ok

Although the pictures are impressive, I question that 13 architects should be solely from the western world.

I think that it's important for children to know a llitle about who designed or influenced the design of the buildings that surround them. I am biased as my late father was a fine architect of the old school, and I felt it important for his great-grandchildren to learn something of his trade and interests.

Bought for budding 7 year old architect. He loved it. Wouldn’t say suitable for any younger than that.

Great

Second hand but copy in perfect condition. Great book, my 8 year old loves it.

Great to help me plan ks2 art and DT to include finding out about architects
