Architecture Books and Online Book Publishing

If you are resourceful, you’ll find tons of pirated architecture books online in pdf format. From Neufert to the Metric Handbook, from AutoCAD Architecture 2008 Book to 3Dmax 2009 Tutorial.
According to a research, university students are increasingly downloading illegal copies of textbooks online, using the same P2P file sharing technologies that cripples the music and movie industry.
Feeling threatened, book publishers are stepping up efforts to stop the online piracy by hiring an outside law firm, and legal notices are mailed to web sites hosting the files demanding that the pdf books be removed. The good new is, no action against students will be taken.
If you can’t beat them, join them. Perhaps it is time these book publishers embrace online book publishing. Sustainable architecture and environmentally conscious design techniques in the field of architecture should be more than just buildings; then again, the whole concept of e-paper working drawing submission to the authorities is impossible for a simple reason – architect’s signature.

And for designing environments, and buildings, i saw that ” architecture : form, space and order” from Ching, is an awesome book, but i searched for a long time this book, and didn’t find where to download it, i just found the CD with the book, but not the pdf !

on February 8th, 2009The reason I decide not to reveal the source is to avoid being sued. Having said that, I will not reveal the exact source, look for clues in the second image in this article. Sorry.

on February 10th, 2009Sureley you can provide the phrase to search through google to find the site? I have looked for a long time and found the site in the first picture, however I still haven’t managed to find any site hosting torrents containg Ching’s books?

on February 16th, 2009No matter how much I love e-books, I still love to work hard and save money to buy real books. Still enjoy lying on the floor holding the architectural books all Sunday morning .
But when i’m working at my Pc desk, i’d rather click and read than open and search.
