"The Architect's Illustrated Pocket Dictionary is an amazing tool for any kind of architect. Not only designed for native English speakers, this dictionary is a good tool for anyone who practices architecture in english. Even if nowadays, it is easy to find translations and definitions over the Internet those ones are never trustable, neither specific about architecture. This dictionary allows for a double check of a word's meaning, offering proper definitions of systems, components and materials. The entries are precise and concise, with excellent navigation within the book thanks to the grey areas. When a word is general (like 'adhesive' or 'metal') it is framed in a grey area which then guides the reader towards specific aspects of the topic ('types included as separate entries'). This feature is excellent to improve architecture knowledge, as well as English words! In addition many illustrations bring the necessary visual information because architecture is drawn more often that written (and the architect works with a visual mind).

"Dictionaries can be something of a personal matter, especially if you use them on a daily basis. The first thing to understand is that they are not all the same. This compact version of the Dictionary of Architecture and Building Construction is more than a dictionary. Terms are extensively explained and illustrated tables are essential to fully understand key definitions. It is a necessary tool for students, scholars and professionals working in the built environment field or in the property industry. In Milan it is available in any international bookstore."
