La maggior parte degli architetti non si afferma professionalmente prima dei cinquant'anni! Probabilmente non ci sono altre professioni che richiedono la capacità di integrare un così vasto ambito di conoscenze nella realizzazione di qualcosa di tanto specifico e concreto. Un architetto deve avere nozioni di storia, arte, sociologia, fisica, psicologia, scienza dei materiali, simbologia, politica e innumerevoli altre discipline, e deve essere in grado di costruire un edificio che rispetti le normative, resista agli agenti atmosferici e ai terremoti, disponga di ascensori e impianti meccanici adeguati e soddisfi le complesse esigenze funzionali ed emotive degli utenti. Imparare a fondere tanti elementi diversi in un solo prodotto richiede molto tempo e non sono pochi i tentativi e gli errori che si possono commettere durante il percorso. Se avete intenzione di intraprendere la carriera dell'architetto, abbiate pazienza e fatelo fino in fondo. Ne vale la pena.

This is a book that students of architecture will want to keep in the studio and in their backpacks. It is also a book they may want to keep out of view of their professors, for it expresses in clear and simple language things that tend to be murky and abstruse in the classroom. These 101 concise lessons in design, drawing, the creative process, and presentation--from the basics of 'How to Draw a Line' to the complexities of color theory--provide a much-needed primer in architectural literacy, making concrete what too often is left nebulous or open-ended in the architecture curriculum. Each lesson utilizes a two-page format, with a brief explanation and an illustration that can range from diagrammatic to whimsical. The lesson on 'How to Draw a Line' is illustrated by examples of good and bad lines; a lesson on the dangers of awkward floor level changes shows the television actor Dick Van Dyke in the midst of a pratfall; a discussion of the proportional differences between traditional and modern buildings features a drawing of a building split neatly in half between the two. Written by an architect and instructor who remembers well the fog of his own student days, 101 Things I Learned in Architecture School provides valuable guideposts for navigating the design studio and other classes in the architecture curriculum. Architecture graduates--from young designers to experienced practitioners--will turn to the book as well, for inspiration and a guide back to basics when solving a complex design problem.

'[My] story is a sash woven of many strands of language. The first strand is the remembered wisdom of the Abenaki community. The second strand is our history and that of our relatives, written down by European, Native American, and Euroamerican observers. The third strand is what our Mother the Earth has revealed to us through the studies and writings of those who delve in her, the archaeologists and paleoecologists. The fourth strand is my own family history and its stories. The fifth strand is, of course, that which has come to me alone, stories which I create with my own beliefs and visions.'

So begins the first book about Abenaki history and culture written from the inside. Frederick Matthew Wiseman's extensive research and personal engagement breathe life into Voice of the Dawn, making it truly unique. Colin Calloway, Chair of Native American Studies at Dartmouth College, writes, 'Going beyond all previous works on the Abenakis, Wiseman draws on family and community knowledge in a way that none of those authors could, speaks from an avowedly Abenaki perspective, and addresses aspects and issues ignored in other works. Moreover, no one that I know of has done as much work in locating and regathering items of Western Abenaki material culture. The quality and quantity of illustrations alone make this an attractive book, as well as a valuable visual record of change and persistence over time. As someone personally and pivotally involved in the Abenaki renaissance, Wiseman brings the story up to date without closing it.'
