Architecture Editorial Review
The 'Ten Books on Architecture' Revised Edition is a valuable resource for those studying or practicing architecture. It is particularly useful for history classes, but may also be insightful and applicable to design. However, there are some complaints about the translation, with some feeling that the terminology used is obsolete and that it misses the point of some sentences. The original translator, Morgan, is preferred by some for his use of floor plans and clearer explanations. The kindle version is also criticized for the inability to enlarge pictures on non-Kindle devices. Overall, the book is praised for its informational value and its interesting look at Roman architecture.
