It has been shown that spatial perception can be improved through practice. Opportunities to
offer such practice are offered in this workbook which was tested by nearly one thousand
architecture students before publication and emerged from an academic study funded by the
Swiss National Science Foundation conducted jointly by the Zurich University of Applied
Sciences (ZHAW) and the ETH Zurich. The book contains 75 exercises that work with architectural
elements but can be mastered without prior knowledge plus a section with solutions and
explanatory texts by experts from theory and practice by M. Berkowitz D. Dietz B. Emo A.
