Draw Me a House: Architectural Ideas, Inspiration and Colouring In Paperback – May 20, 2012

I liked all the references to historic buildings from the Parthenon, the Sphinx, Ronchamp, Falling Water to the Guggenheim Bilbao.I would let my granddaughter who likes architecture draw in the blanks in colored pencils.

This was a perfect book for our budding 5 year old architect, though the adults loved it too. Equal parts coloring book and guide for everything from windows and roofs to interior design and furniture to even tree houses. This will be a keeper for a long time

i bought this for my daughter and my nephew. This is not a children's book really. it oculd be for older children. but this is far too complex for little ones. On top of that, you're going to want this for yourself. go doodle a gothic cathedral, or a victorian mansion...this will guide you in your doodles.

This is such a cute book! I'm using it to get back to the basics of sketching, and I can do it with my 7 year old! I love the simplicity of the drawing style, matched with the fun, little details. Great book!

Gave this to a friend who was in a drafting and design vocational shop class as a Christmas gift and she loved it. It has plenty of creative activities and layouts.

I love the book but am disappointed in the seller. It has lots of coloring and drawing throughout the pages. I often purchase used books and rarely run into this. Bummed!

Draw Me A House: A Book of Colouring in, Ideas and Architectural Inspiration This is a clever book allowing children to learn aboutdiverse architectural structures and styles, big and small... from the recognized Bilbao Guggenheim Art Museum in Spain to the utility of an igloo; fromancient Egypt, to Victorian interiors, and on to Green homes. Along with giving simply-stated interesting facts, young people have the opportunity tocreate and add personal touches by adding color enhancement to the illustrations, or to complete a partially developed drawing. Additionally, the bookincludes an array of artistic architectural concepts- doors knockers, furniture, decorative arts, lighting, houseboats, streetscapes, bridges, and more.I am a designer and arts educator, and I incorporate the ideas into classroom lessons. This book gets kids to think, draw, and dream. It's perfect for aclassroom of many, or for one-on-one home use.

What a creative way to learn about architecture - every structure from eco-techno towers to mobile homes and treehouses. There's plenty of space and ideas for drawing alongside Thibaud Herem's terrific pen and ink sketches. Terrific gift for all ages I'd say.

Es un libro precioso, que esta vez compramos para regalar. Tiene distintas actividades para niños, relacionadas con la construcción, el diseño y la arquitectura.

I loved the book and gave it to my granddaughter for her 10 th birthday. She loved it too.I would happily spend time using it myself. Lots of inspiration for drawing & design ideas.

Un livre d'un excellent rapport qualité / prix qui permettra à vos enfants de faire du coloriage et du dessin sous forme interactive et, si vous les accompagnez un peu, d'avoir aussi une première approche simple de l' anglais.

Great doodle book for my 9yr old aspiring architect. Probably suitable for 9 and under. Too basic for an older child but a great starter in architectural drawings.

The title says it all. It's made of game, drawing ...A nice introduction to houses architecture. Unfortunately, the paper quality is not what I expect from a 19£ drawing book.
