Book excerpt: A rich and varied glimpse into the creative processes of a broad array of contemporary architects. While digital technologies have pushed the boundaries of architectural creation, conceiving an original and appropriate design is as challenging as it has always been. As this book shows, however, a recent return to the basic act of putting pen or pencil to paper has produced some of the most successful buildings of the past decade. Making Marks follows the highly successful Architects’ Sketchbooks, which presented the rich breadth of sketches created by contemporary architects post digital revolution. Taking a post-digital perspective, the sixty renowned architects whose work is collected here show how drawing and new forms of manual presentation have been refined since the reawakening of this basic technique. Revealing why hand-drawing still matters, this global survey presents the freehand drawings, vibrant watercolors, and abstract impressions of a broad and eclectic array of rising talents and well-known names, including Jun Igarashi, Deborah Saunt, Daniel Libeskind, Meg Graham, and Brian MacKay-Lyons, to name but a few. Author Will Jones’s introduction reviews the importance of the physical sketch and its vital role in the creative process. Spanning diverse approaches, styles, and physical forms, Making Marks is not merely a compendium of the preoccupations and stylistics of current practice, but a rich and varied insight into architectural creativity.

Download or read book Recto Verso Redefining the Sketchbook written by Dr Angela Bartram and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together a broad range of contributors including art, architecture, and design academic theorists and historians, in addition to practicing artists, architects, and designers, this volume explores the place of the sketchbook in contemporary art and architecture. Drawing upon a diverse range of theories, practices, and reflections common to the contemporary conceptualisation of the sketchbook and its associated environments, it offers a dialogue in which the sketchbook can be understood as a pivotal working tool that contributes to the creative process and the formulation and production of visual ideas. Along with exploring the theoretical, philosophical, psychological, and curatorial implications of the sketchbook, the book addresses emergent digital practices by way of examining contemporary developments in sketchbook productions and pedagogical applications. Consequently, these more recent developments question the validity of the sketchbook as both an instrument of practice and creativity, and as an educational device. International in scope, it not only explores European intellectual and artistic traditions, but also intercultural and cross-cultural perspectives, including reviews of practices in Chinese artworks or Islamic calligraphy, and situational contexts that deal with historical examples, such as Roman art, or modern practices in geographical-cultural regions like Pakistan.

Book excerpt: 'Tony Hunt's Structures Notebook' was a basic primer on structural engineering in a visual and non-mathematical form. 'Tony Hunt's Sketchbook' illustrates the connection between brain and hand in conceiving structural concepts and details as possible solutions to structures in architecture. Drawing is an important tool for initial communication of ideas. Design concepts originate in the mind and are transferred roughly and quickly to paper as freehand sketches. These sketches illustrate alternative structural concepts, ideas and details for discussions with the design team. The drawings in this sketchbook are a selection from notebooks produced by Tony Hunt over the last 30 or so years. They relate directly to projects built and unbuilt in the field of structural engineering. The author has worked extensively with most of he well-known architects in this country and some abroad. The sketches represent early thoughts and structural ideas on a wide range of projects, both large and small. They were either produced at the time of relevant design meetings or as a response to a problem posed by an architect and are, therefore, a record ideas proposed at the particular time. In most cases a range of structural alternatives are proposed. Sometimes the first idea was the one adopted. All drawings are freehand. The style and approach has varied over the years and has become 'freer' in later years, but all are by the author. World famous author - the first Engineer's sketchbook in the UK Tony Hunt is well known for his sketches Companion volume to the successful 'Tony Hunt's Structures Notebook'

Download or read book Rice s Architectural Primer written by Matthew Rice and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-07-15 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RICE'S ARCHITECTURAL PRIMER covers the grammar and vocabulary of British buildings, explaining the evolution of styles from Norman castles to Norman Foster. Its aim is to enable the reader to recognise, understand and date any British building. As Matthew Rice says, ‘Once you can speak any language, conversation can begin, but without it communications can only be brief and brutish. The same is the case with Architecture: an inability to describe the component parts of a building leaves one tongue-tied and unable to begin to discuss what is or is not exciting, dull or peculiar about it.' RICE'S ARCHITECTURAL PRIMER will explain the language of architecture. With it in your hand, pocket or car, buildings will break down beguilingly into their component parts, ready for inspection and discussion. There will be no more references to that curly bit on top of the thing with the square protrusions. Ungainly and inept descriptions will be a thing of the past and, fluent in the world of volutes, hood moulds, lobed architraves and bucrania, you will be able to leave a cathedral or country house with as much to talk about as a film or play. RICE'S ARCHITECTURAL PRIMER starts with an explanation of the basic ‘Grammar' of buildings: elevation, plan, roof, gable and eave. This will enable the reader to better make use of what is to follow. It will also cover the Orders of Architecture – Doric, Tuscan, Ionic, Corinthian and Composite – so that the vital basics of Classicism are covered. Following this is the ‘Vocabulary'. This will be a chronological reference section covering, period by period, the windows, doors and doorcases, columns, chimneys, arches, balustrades and pediments that make up the built environment.
