Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Authored during the height of the pandemic amidst a period of self-reflection, culture and style impresario Alan Faena conceives a deeply personal framework of attributes to liberate the self in this highly personal manifesto exploring the constructs of human potential. To build my dreams, I first had to build myself. In this book I share the secrets of that Architecture. — Alan Faena As a creative with a highly personal vision of design, Alan Faena has produced some of the most extraordinary spaces in the recent past — from his ingenious reconstruction of an abandoned neighborhood in Buenos Aires to the heights of luxury in Miami Beach. Faena now presents the guiding principles that have helped him produce these urban marvels. Authored during the height of the pandemic, Faena conceived a deeply personal framework of tenets that guided his journey of self-discovery and creativity. Composed of eight thematic pillars — Creation, Vision, Weakness, Silence, Path, Present, Love and Architecture — these chapters explore the inspired source from which all creativity emanates, from the personal battles to the deliberate decisions that ultimately define Faena’s vision and infuse his imaginative vision.

Book A Theory of Architecture

Download or read book A Theory of Architecture written by Nikos A. Salingaros and published by Off The Common Books. This book was released on 2021-04-02 with total page 522 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a decade in the making, this is a textbook of architecture, useful for every architect: from first-year students, to those taking senior design studio, to graduate students writing a Ph.D. dissertation in architectural theory, to experienced practicing architects. It is very carefully written so that it can be read even by the beginning architecture student. The information contained here is a veritable gold mine of design techniques. This book teaches the reader how to design by adapting to human needs and sensibilities, yet independently of any particular style. Here is a unification of genuine architectural knowledge that brings a new clarity to the discipline. It explains much of what people instinctively know about architecture, and puts that knowledge for the first time in a concise, understandable form. Dr. Salingaros has experience in the organization of the built environment that few practicing architects have. The later chapters of this new book touch on very sensitive topics: what drives architects to produce the forms they build; and why architects use only a very restricted visual vocabulary. Is it personal inventiveness, or is it something more, which perhaps they are not even aware of? There has not been such a book treating the very essence of architecture. The only other author who is capable of raising a similar degree of passion (and controversy) is Christopher Alexander, who happens to be Dr. Salingaros’ friend and architectural mentor. “Surely no voice is more thought-provoking than that of this intriguing, perhaps historically important, new thinker?” From the Preface by His Royal Highness, Charles, The Prince of Wales “A New Vitruvius for 21st-Century Architecture and Urbanism?” Dr. Ashraf SalamaChair, Department of Architecture and Urban Planning, Qatar University, Doha, Qatar “Architecture, Salingaros argues, is governed by universal and intuitively understood principles, which have been exemplified by all successful styles and in all civilizations that have left a record of themselves in their buildings. The solution is not to return to the classical styles… the solution is to return to first principles and build within their constraints… ” Dr. Roger Scruton Philosopher, London, UK “A fundamental text, among the most significant of the past several years.” Dr. Vilma Torselli Architect and Author, Milan, Italy “A Theory of Architecture demonstrates how mathematics and the social sciences offer keys to designing a humane architecture. In this brilliant tome Salingaros explains why many modern buildings are neither beautiful nor harmonious and, alternatively, how architects and patrons can employ scale, materials and mathematical logic to design structures which are exciting, nourishing, and visually delightful.” Duncan G. Stroik Professor of Architecture, University of Notre Dame, Indiana “Salingaros explores ways to clarify and formalize our understanding of aesthetic forms in the built environment, using mathematics, thermodynamics, Darwinism, complexity theory and cognitive sciences. Salingaros’ remarkable observations suggest that concepts of complexity and scale can someday provide a full-bodied explanation for both the practice and the appreciation of architecture.” Kim Sorvig Architecture & Planning, University of New Mexico See this book’s Wikipedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Theory_of_Architecture Nikos A. Salingaros is an internationally known urbanist and architectural theorist who has studied the scientific bases underlying architecture for thirty years. Utne Reader ranked him as “One of 50 visionaries who are changing your world”, and Planetizen as 11th among “The top 100 urban thinkers of all time”. He is Professor of Mathematics at the University of Texas at San Antonio.

Book excerpt: In the heart of our story lies a tale of passion, creativity, and emotional healing, where two extraordinary souls find themselves thrown together amidst the backdrop of architectural wonders and historical legacies. 'Love by Design' is a captivating novel that takes readers on a journey through the intricate realms of love, restoration, and personal growth. Seth Sylas, a gifted yet reclusive architect, is a maestro of his craft. His creations are born from the depths of a troubled heart, a symphony of brilliance woven from the threads of past traumas. Haunted by scars that have led to emotional seclusion, Seth's life takes an unexpected turn when he's tasked with the daunting mission of rebuilding St. Lewis Uriel, a cherished historical landmark with a storied past. Little does he know that this restoration project will not only mend the walls of a centuries-old building but also the walls around his own soul. Enter Heidi Everlee, an unstoppable force of creativity and vision. With an eye for design that knows no bounds, Heidi is a charismatic and ambitious counterpart to Seth's introverted nature. Their personalities clash as sparks fly, igniting both creative brilliance and undeniable tension. Seth, consumed by the structural aspects of the restoration, meets his match in Heidi, who seeks to breathe life into the very essence of the Uriel through her interior design prowess. As the project unfolds, so does a deep and transformative romance. What begins as a professional collaboration evolves into a powerful connection that neither Seth nor Heidi can deny. Their partnership not only revitalizes the historical landmark but also dismantles the emotional barriers they've erected around their hearts. Through shared laughter, late nights, and heartfelt conversations, they learn to embrace the possibility of love and healing. With every brick that's laid and every design choice that's made, Seth and Heidi rebuild not only the grandeur of St. Lewis Uriel but also the fractured pieces of their own lives. Their journey mirrors the very restoration they're overseeing – a process that requires patience, dedication, and the willingness to see beauty where others might only see ruins. 'Love by Design' invites readers to immerse themselves in a world where architecture and emotion intertwine, where love blossoms amidst the echoes of history. This enchanting tale reminds us that just as buildings can be rebuilt, hearts can mend, and love has the power to transform even the deepest wounds. So, take a step into the world of Seth and Heidi, where passion and creativity rewrite the blueprint of their lives in the most unexpected and heartwarming ways.

Book excerpt: Vermeer and the Art of Love is about the emotions evoked in those elegant interiors in which a young woman may be writing a letter to her absent beloved or playing a virginal in the presence of an admirer. But it is also about the love we sense in the painter's attentiveness to every detail within those rooms, which lends even the most mundane of objects the quality of something extraordinary. In this engaging and beautifully illustrated book, Georgievska-Shine uncovers the ways in which Vermeer challenges the dichotomies between 'good' and 'bad' love, the sensual and the spiritual, placing him within the context of his contemporaries to give the reader a fascinating insight into his unique understanding and interpretation of the subject.
