A crash course in designing and constructing buildings too often, textbooks turn the noteworthy details of architecture into tedious discourse that would put even Frank Gehry to sleep. "Architecture 101" cuts out the boring explanations, and instead provides a hands-on lesson that keeps you engaged as you explore the world's greatest structures.
