Book Architectural Diagrams

Download or read book Architectural Diagrams written by Mi Young Pyo and published by Dom Publishers. This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The trendsetting architect Rem Koolhaas has carried it out to perfection, whereas the next generation of international stars refined it even more, giving us the unconventional presentation of designs and ideas in the form of diagrams. This method of presentation is easy to understand when dealing with the client and can be communicated internationally, beyond language and cultural barriers - a product of our globalised world. However, diagrams are now much more than explanations and form their own discipline in creative professions connected to design and construction. What looks simple is in fact a complex matter. This title in the series Construction and Design Manual is in its second edition and assembles 384 pages of diagrams by avant-garde architects and designers who specialise in public space, landscape architecture and urban planning.

Book The Diagrams of Architecture

Download or read book The Diagrams of Architecture written by Mark Garcia and published by . This book was released on 2010-03 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1980s, the diagram has become a preferred method for researching, communicating, theorising and making architectural designs, ideas and projects. Thus the rise of the diagram, as opposed to the model or the drawing, is the one of the most significant new developments in the process of design in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Diagrams of Architecture is the first anthology to represent - through texts and diagrams - the histories, theories and futures of architecture through the diagram. Spanning the Pre-historic to the Parametric, Diagrams of Architecture illustrates over 250 diagrams and brings together 26 previously published and newly commissioned essays from leading international academics, architects, theorists and professional experts. These combine to define the past and future of the diagram's discourse. Prefaced with a critical introduction by Mark Garcia, each text investigates a central concept or dimension of the diagram ranging from socio-cultural studies, science, philosophy, technology, CAD/CAM, computing and cyberspace and virtual/digital design to methodology, environment/sustainability and phenomenological, poetic and art architecture; as well as interior, urban, engineering, interactive and landscape design. The first critical, multidisciplinary book on the history, theory and futures of the architectural diagram. Includes seminal articles on the diagram from the history and theory of architecture such as those by Peter Eisenman, Sanford Kwinter, MVRDV, Neil Spiller, Lars Spuybroek, UN Studio and Anthony Vidler. Features 14 newly commissioned articles by leading architects and theorists, including Charles Jencks, Hanif Kara, Patrik Schumacher, Neil Spiller, Leon van Schaik and Alejandro Zaera-Polo and two new interviews with Will Alsop and Bernard Tschumi. Includes a full-colour critical collection of over 250 of the most significant and original diagrams, many of which are previously unpublished, in the history of architecture from around the world.

  • ISBN : 9401735247
  • Pages : 170 pages

Download or read book Thinking with Diagrams written by Alan F. Blackwell and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-18 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides an introductory overview of the rapid growth in interdisciplinary research into Thinking with Diagrams. Diagrammatic representations are becoming more common in everyday human experience, yet they offer unique challenges to cognitive science research. Neither linguistic nor perceptual theories are sufficient to completely explain their advantages and applications. These research challenges may be part of the reason why so many diagrams are badly designed or badly used. This is ironic when the user interfaces of computer software and the worldwide web are becoming so completely dominated by graphical and diagrammatic representations. This book includes chapters commissioned from leading researchers in the major disciplines involved in diagrams research. They review the philosophical status of diagrams, the cognitive processes involved in their application, and a range of specialist fields in which diagrams are central, including education, architectural design and visual programming languages. The result is immediately relevant to researchers in cognitive science and artificial intelligence, as well as in applied technology areas such as human-computer interaction and information design.

Book Representing Landscapes

Download or read book Representing Landscapes written by Nadia Amoroso and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-12 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What do you communicate when you draw an industrial landscape using charcoal; what about a hyper-realistic PhotoShop collage method? What are the right choices to make? Are there right and wrong choices when it comes to presenting a particular environment in a particular way? The choice of medium for visualising an idea is something that faces all students of landscape architecture and urban design, and each medium and style option that you select will influence how your idea is seen and understood. Responding to demand from her students, Nadia Amoroso has compiled successful and eye-catching drawings using various drawing styles and techniques to create this book of drawing techniques for landscape architects to follow and - more importantly - to be inspired by. More than twenty respected institutions have helped to bring together the very best of visual representation of ideas, the most powerful, expressive and successful images. Professors from these institutions provide critical and descriptive commentaries, explaining the impact of using different media to represent the same landscape. This book is recommended for landscape architecture and urban design students from first year to thesis and is specifically useful in visual communications and graphic courses and design studios.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Diagrams are playing an increasingly important role in architecture and city planning. They help to make complex ideas, systems and relationships easy to visualize and help to communicate these, crossing linguistic and cultural barriers. Diagrams illustrate bold visions and unexpected approaches and are a key component for developing complex construction projects -- and they thus play their part in realizing these projects successfully. What is more, they don't just serve to provide information - they are also miniature, individually designed items that bear the signature of their creator. They are a new, inspiring art form"--Publisher description.

Book Drawing for Architects

Download or read book Drawing for Architects written by Natascha Meuser and published by Dom Publishers. This book was released on 2015-09 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The drawing architect – for centuries, this term was just as Ưtautological as the 'baking baker' or the 'gardening gardener'. ƯNevertheless, in this compendium one has to begin with reference to the fact that the acquisition of drawing skills is by no means a minor field of study for architects. Design methodology, also referred to as methodology of space and the representation of the human body, plays an important role – once more – in the present-Ưday field of architectural activity. This book explores Ưoptions for illustration, as well as contemporary practice with architectural presentation. It deals with the following topics: The history and theory of architectural drawing, covering a wide spectrum of issues in terms of art and architectural ƯƯhistory, examples are provided by two design collections; ten architects present their architectural concepts based on a selection of drawing and presentation techniques; ten exercises for freehand drawing; demonstrative examples and practical exercises which ƯƯƯillustrate technical drawing and the fundamental principles of perspective.
