This book is written in both Bengali and English and is extensively illustrated with diagrams and photographs, which is the common language of our architects and students. Nowadays, the culture of texting, listening and watching on digital screens has reduced the patience for reading books. Considering this, each subject in this book has been limited to one paragraph and presented with information and pictures.
This book is for those who do not want to read much. The inquisitive reader will always find detailed written information on those subjects from other sources. Although it is noteworthy that no one can teach architecture, it can only be learned through one’s own initiative.
