TextPublisher: Emerald Publishing Limited, Description: 1 online resource (296 pages)ISBN: 9781786358288 (e-book)Subject(s): Architectural design | Architecture, Buildings -- General | Theory of architectureAdditional physical formats: No titleDDC classification: 729 LOC classification: NA2750 | .M64 2017Online resources: Click here to access online Summary: Nearly every work of architecture can be characterized by specific approaches to forming and centering. An awareness of these underpinnings would facilitate a more informed approach to architectural design problems, as well as a deeper understanding of the central issues (and flaws) embodied by completed works of architecture. But the addressing of such topics has generally remained multifarious and diverse: more in the nature of a collection of independent issues than an overarching analytical argument. In this book, fresh looks at such issues are assembled and recast into a fully integrated narrative, based on two foundational and complementary aspects of architectural design: those that give shape and those that give focus - forming and centering.
