Introducing Architectural Theory

This book presents major discourses in architectural theory and design in a debate-like format, integrating a series of edited texts across architectural history with context and newly written commentaries by the authors. This new edition has been fully revised, updated, and expanded to include long-standing debates, such as simplicity vs. complexity or the relationship between form and function, as well as newer discussions on innovation, globalization, and social equity. Authors Smith and Guitart provide a comprehensive means and conceptual framework for readers to compare multiple points of view. The chapter structure, discussion questions, and additional resources allow teachers to facilitate in-class discussions and writing assignments.

Open Concept apartments

Opening up an apartment's floor plan appears to be a desirable home improvement, one that resolves the lack of space and promotes a more casual, family-friendly lifestyle. Open plans seem to have become the "default" layout in both newly designed and refurbished apartments. Could the reason be that they have become a trend or perhaps they are the reflection of a lifestyle that calls for convenience and sociability? These changes might explain how the kitchen, which for a long time has occupied a separate space in the home, has become the epicenter of family life and entertainment. It shares a large open space with the living and dining areas. Combining these spaces surely makes sense when dealing with limited space. If we think about it, walls, doors, and hallways can take up a considerable amount of floor area. With fewer walls, open floor plans feel larger, allow for more natural lighting, and promote flexible use of space, adapting to the users' changing needs and living patterns.

Raumplan versus Plan Libre

A number of factors have contributed to the exhibition Raumplan versus Plan Libre. Both the exhibition and the accompanying publication were developed within an educational institute: the Faculty of Architecture of the Delft University of Technology, Hol- land. The comparison is one of the means through which de- sign can be discussed of vital importance in a situation in which an educational program can no longer be con- structed around one, all-encompassing architectural theo- ry. This not only the result of the size of the institution, but also due to the lack of such a theory within the discipline itself. Consequently, the architectural student finds himself faced with a multitude of views concerning design, and just as many products of those views, both within and without the educational situation. This is neither good nor bad, for it is the result of the increased division of labour and special- ization within the building process itself.

Eisenman Architects

Following the example of music publication, Source Books in Architecture offers an alternative to the traditional architectural monograph. If one is interested in hearing music, he or she simply purchases the desired recording. If, however, one wishes to study a particular piece in greater depth, it is possible to purchase the score—the written code that more clearly elucidates the structure, organization, and creative process that brings the work into being. This series is offered in the same spirit. Each Source Book focuses on a single work by a particular architect or a special topic in contemporary architecture. The work is documented with sketches, models, renderings, working drawings, and photographs at a level of detail that allows complete and careful study of the project from its conception to the completion of design and construction. The graphic component is accompanied by commentary from the architect and critics that further explores both the technical and cultural content of the work in question.

Michelangelo, God’s architect

Having written a biography of Michelangelo, I thought I was “done” with the artist. But, as Leonardo famously mused, “Tell me if anything is ever done.” And as my mentor Howard Hibbard once remarked, “There is no such thing as a definitive book or a final word on great art or artists.” Indeed, as I wrote the final pages of my biography, I became increasingly drawn to the poignant narrative of an aging artist confronting the greatest challenge of his creative life: to build New St. Peter’s all the while knowing he would never see it to completion.

Дневник книготорговца

Противник тотальной цифровизации, однажды в порыве ярости Байтелл расстреливает Kindle из винтовки, в другой раз - из простого Kindle делает Kindle Fire, сжигая его в саду. Неужели он считает, что электронные книги вовсе не имеют права на существование? «Вообще я не против того, чтобы люди покупали книги для Kindle. Я не отрицаю, что у современных технологий есть свои преимущества. Однако я против тотального перевода всего, что когда-либо было напечатано, в цифровой формат».

Drawing for interior designers

It is by means of severalkinds of representation, drawings and plans, that we learn how to develop a project. In this book, some of theserepresentations rurebased on real spaces- houses and flats - and we will give you finished examplesof real conversions, like the numerous books on home decoration or irrterior design which you will find in the public library.But becauseyou live in your own space,the cxamples you find are never just right. This book therefore aims to show above all a real method of clrawing, with a progressive acquisition of the skills which wiii enable you to carry out operations logrcllly, and to put your own ideas down on paper.
