Download or read book Understanding Architecture Through Drawing written by Brian Edwards and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2008-08-20 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This second edition is fully revised and updated and includes new chapters on sustainability, history and archaeology, designing through drawing and drawing in architectural practice. The book introduces design and graphic techniques aimed to help designers increase their understanding of buildings and places through drawing. For many, the camera has replaced the sketchbook, but here the author argues that freehand drawing as a means of analyzing and understanding buildings develops visual sensitivity and awareness of design. By combining design theory with practical lessons in drawing, Understanding Architecture Through Drawing encourages the use of the sketchbook as a creative and critical tool. The book is highly illustrated and is an essential manual on freehand drawing techniques for students of architecture, landscape architecture, town and country planning and urban design.
Download or read book The Architectural Review Vol 49 written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Architectural Review is a multi-volume magazine of architecture and design intended for both professionals and those with a casual interest, with articles ranging from highly technical to those highlighting areas of popular interest in design. Volume 49 includes over fifty detailed articles and over one hundred magnificent illustrations intended to educate and excite a quickly growing audience. Along the same vein, the magazine does not limit itself to simply examining the architecture of buildings; it also explores the design of furniture and discusses contributions of individual artists to both architecture and design in an attempt to broaden their readership and bring the magic of architecture to a new audience. This volume covers a wide range of buildings from the most basic single-family units to some of the most ostentatious and glamorous structures ever built: from cathedrals and castles to simple homes in the English countryside. This volume explores the Piazza Venesia in Rome, the Christ Church in Oxford, and the Palace of the Popes at Avignon, as well as the Royal Society for the Arts. In addition, there are articles dedicated to individuals in creative fields such as Mr. Henry T. Hare and Sir Charles Harry. Articles on garden design and museums that either are architecturally significant or cover areas of interest to the architecturally inclined help lighten some of the more technical content and make the magazine more approachable for the casual reader. One particularly approachable feature is on the use of stained glass in both architecture for public buildings and as an accent in private residences. The magazine proves over and over again that no topic is considered too tangential as they highlight racing yacht interiors and one on English furniture exhibited at the Burlington Fine Arts Club, as well as important artists in a variety of different fields. According to The Architectural Review every man-made structure has both beauty and merit and design is something that can be appreciated by anyone, regardless of professional expertise. The publication explores all facets of building and design and pays equal attention to both the good and the bad in each creation. An interesting read for students of architecture and design or an interesting read for individuals who enjoy architecture and want to know more about building decoration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new selection of essays follows Chris Abel's previous best selling collection, Architecture and Identity. Drawing upon a wide range of knowledge and disciplines, the author argues that, underlying technological changes in the process of architectural production are fundamental changes in the way we think about machines and the world we live in. Key topics include: new patterns of urbanism in the fast growing cities of asia pacific; metaphorical extensions of mind and body in cyberspace; the divergent European and North American values shaping Sir Norman Foster's and Frank Gehry's work, and the collaborative work methods and technologies creating the adaptable design pratices of today.

Download or read book Image Text Architecture written by Robin Wilson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-09 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Image, Text, Architecture brings a radical and detailed analysis of the modern and contemporary architectural media, addressing issues of architectural criticism, architectural photography and the role of journal editors. It covers examples as diverse as an article by British artist Paul Nash in The Architectural Review, 1940, an early project by French architects Lacaton & Vassal published in the journal 2G, 2001, and recent photography by Hisao Suzuki for the Spanish journal El Croquis. At the intersection of image and text the book also reveals the role of the utopian impulse within the architectural media, drawing on theories of utopian discourse from the work of the French semiotician and art theorist Louis Marin, and the American Marxist critic Fredric Jameson. Through this it builds a fresh theoretical approach to journal studies, revealing a hitherto unexplored dimension of "latent" or "unconscious" discourse within the media portrait of architecture. The purpose of this enquiry is to highlight moments where a different type of critical voice emerges on the architectural journal page, indicating the possibility of a more progressive engagement with the media as a platform for critical and speculative thinking about architecture, and to rethink the journals’ role within architectural history.
