I read this cover to cover in preparing for the ARE and it covers so much information needed for the tests.This is because the plans for a building can be incomplete due to omissions, mistakes and artistic license, so it is nice to know what a section of a curtain wall or whatever is supposed to contain. Ching's books are well-known in the architectural community as a fabulous source of information on a range of topics – ranging from structure, to form, to representation – that are richly illustrated and presented in a clear and comprehensive way intuitive to the visual learners who make up the bulk of the profession. Now in its sixth edition, this book is a mainstay and who is seriously interested in architecture will regret owning it. A masterpiece of the genre, this book is the first that comes to mind when I'm asked which books I would recommend to aspiring students or anyone who wants to learn more about architecture and how a building actually goes together.
