Artist Roxie Munro has created a wonderful, whimsical tour through the architectural alphabet. Her drawings show 26 of the most common features of buildings and neighborhoods and give a tantalizing glimpse into 300 years of American architecture from coast to coast. Follow her eye up to locate unusual curlicues on a seaside balcony and gaze down to see the intricate plantings that welcomed George Washington to Mount Vernon.

Munro makes architecture fun for building lovers of all ages and provides a starting point for endless architectural explorations close to home. \"Munros line drawings . are full of detail without being cluttered; they capture the activity of these places, and yet they remain serene.\" --Washington Post \"Munro clearly is [able] to breathe life into the inanimate.\" --New York Times \"Munro deserves thanks for this treasure that her fans will hope is the first of many singular achievements.\" --Publishers Weekly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67931001782325,"sku":"ByrdShop_047114357X","price":65.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780471143574.jpg?v=1794211434","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/architects-make-zigzags-looking-at-architecture-from-a-to-z-9780471143574","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
