The Nature of Design: Ecology, Culture, and Human Intention
ISBN: 9780195173680 / Angielski / Miękka / 237 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The environmental movement has often been accused of being overly negative--trying to stop "progress."

Ecological design is an emerging field that aims to recalibrate what humans do in the world according to how the world works as a biophysical system. Design in this sense is a large concept having to do as much with politics and ethics as with buildings and...

Making the built environment useful, safe, comfortable, efficient, and as beautiful as possible is a universal quest. We dream about how we might live, work, and play. From these dreams come some 95 percent of all private and public buildings; professional architects design only about 5 percent of the built environment.

What is Architecture?
ISBN: 9780415256261 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Architecture can influence the way we feel, and can help us along as we go about our lives, or sabotage our habitual ways of doing things. The essays collected here challenge, and help to define a view of architecture which ranges from the minimal domesticity of Diogenes' barrel, to the exuberant experiments of the contemporary avant-garde. Architecture is always more than building, but is a folding together of buildings and culture, so that the buildings come to have meaning as they are caught up in a way of life, and architecture is best appreciated as part of an art of living. Andrew...
