This collection of critical essays focuses on how material is transformed, revised, swallowed whole, plagiarized or in any other way appropriated in order to address pressing and timely questions regarding architectural influence. It charts new territory within this still unexplored yet highly topical area of study by establishing a shared vocabulary with which to discuss, or contest, the workings of influence as a vital and progressive aspect of architectural discourse. Written by a group of rising scholars in the field of architectural history and criticism, the essays cover a range of...

Creating Sensory Spaces celebrates spaces enlivened with sensual richness and provides you with the knowledge and tools necessary to create them. Drawing on numerous built case studies in ten countries and illustrated with over 85 full color images, the book presents a new framework for the design of sensory spaces including light, color, temperature, smell, sound, and touch. Bridging across disciplines of architecture, engineering, phenomenology and perceptual psychology, this book informs the design of buildings and neighborhoods that reclaim the role of the body and all the...

Design Expertise explores what it takes to become an expert designer.It examines the perception of expertise in design and asks what knowledge, skills, attributes and experiences are necessary in order to design well. Bryan Lawson and Kees Dorst develop a new model of design expertise and show how design expertise can be developed.

This book is designed for all students, teachers, practitioners and researchers in architecture and design. To enable all readers to explore the book in a flexible way, the authors' words are always found on the left hand page. On the right are...

Instant Revit : A Quick and Easy Guide to Learning Autodesk(R) Revit(R) 2017

This book is designed to give the student a basic introduction to the Revit 2017 computer aided design (CAD) program. The book contains step-by-step project tutorials with screenshots using the Revit program. The units for the projects are in Imperial (Feet & Inches) units.The student begins with three warm-up projects designed to familiarize them with the Revit interface. These projects will use the 2D portion of the program that will guide the student through a two-view drawing of a...

Architects have been intrigued by prefabricated construction since the early 20^th century. Recent advances in design, engineering and manufacturing processes have led to a significant expansion in the use of pre-assembled components which are fitted to finished structures on site. Collectively, such processes are becoming known as offsite construction .

A groundbreaking text, Offsite Architecture establishes the current and future state of thinking in this field. A range of the most highly regarded thinkers and practitioners from around the globe share...

Seismic Design of Industrial Facilities demands a deep knowledge on the seismic behaviour of the individual structural and non-structural components of the facility, possible interactions and last but not least the individual hazard potential of primary and secondary damages.

From 26.-27. September 2013 the International Conference on Seismic Design of Industrial Facilities firstly addresses this broad field of work and research in one specialized conference. It brings together academics, researchers and professional engineers in order to discuss the challenges of seismic...

Design in SketchUp
Document in LayOut

Learn how to use SketchUp and LayOut to design and document any architectural project from concept to completion.
This step-by-step workflow shows you how to create a 3D terrain model of your existing site, then walks you through modeling the building and producing documents throughout each design phase.

• Use the Sandbox tools to create and modify 3D terrain to build an existing site model and a proposed site model.
• Organize your model into multiple files to increase speed, performance,...
