Pattern
ISBN: 9783764389543 / Angielski / Miękka / 107 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As models and paradigms, patterns have been helping to orient architects since the Middle Ages.

Ornament - and hence pattern as well - was abolished by the avant-garde in the first half of the twentieth century, but the notion of pattern has taken on new meaning and importance since the 1960s. Complexity research has ultimately shown that even highly complex, dynamic patterns may be based on simple behavioral rules, and that has allowed the...

ISBN: 9780692702697 / Angielski / Miękka / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As with any profession, architects have a specific way of communicating.

I began writing down some of the things I overheard in meetings, around the office, and with design colleagues. Throughout the book I've written the quote said by an architect, along with the non-architect (English)...
