The Projective Cast: Architecture and Its Three Geometries
ISBN: 9780262550383 / Angielski / Miękka / 452 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Anyone reviewing the history of architectural theory, Robin Evans observes, would have to conclude that architects do not produce geometry, but rather consume it. In this long-awaited book, completed shortly before its author's death, Evans recasts the idea of the relationship between geometry and architecture, drawing on mathematics, engineering, art history, and aesthetics to uncover processes in the imagining and realizing of architectural form. He shows that geometry does not always play a stolid and dormant role but, in fact, may be an active agent in the links between thinking and...

The Structure of the Ordinary: Form and Control in the Built Environment
ISBN: 9780262581950 / Angielski / Miękka / 382 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) According to N. J. Habraken, intimate and unceasing interaction between people and the forms they inhabit uniquely defines built environment. The Structure of the Ordinary, the culmination of decades of environmental observation and design research, is a recognition and analysis of everyday environment as the wellspring of urban design and formal architecture. The author's central argument is that built environment is universally organized by the Orders of Form, Place, and Understanding. These three fundamental, interwoven principles correspond roughly to physical, biological, and... According to N. J.

Selling Architectural Ideas
ISBN: 9780419232605 / Angielski / Miękka / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) As 'visual animals' architects continue to live and work in a pictorial age in which image-making remains the central activity of environmental design. Selling Architectural Ideas explores the promotional role of architectural graphics and drawing at the point of communication, i.e. at their point of sale. By substituting the words 'communication' and 'presentation' with the word 'selling' we confront the reality of a highly competitive world in which the process of creating images for selling architectural ideas is approached as a more persuasive and, therefore, more successful...
