en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 noi 2021

The Fundamentals of Architecture, 2nd Edition is an introduction to the basic ideas that inform architecture. It is intended to unravel the complexity of architecture to explain its process and make it more accessible. It guides students through the rich history of the discipline, and introduces aspects of contemporary theory and practice. The book explores the process of architecture starting from the initial ideas and concepts, and how these ideas are informed by understanding site and context. It examines the impact of the physical environment and the historical ideas that have informed and influenced the architectural solution. The second edition has been redesigned and updated with new material, including six case studies, exercise sections and contemporary visuals from students and leading architects.

Recenzii

The book is great, really relevant for undergraduate students in Interiors as well as Architecture programmes, it is beautifully produced and the images and drawings are particularly good.
A must for first year students of Architecture.
An attractive introduction to the world of architecture and what is required of an architect... very good for those at school considering a career choice in architecture. It is also a good general overview of thinking across the whole field of architecture. The graphic design is attractive and the images well chosen.
I think you have pitched these books just right: clear layout; accessible language; good photography; contemporary precedent that the student will relate to and the communication of the design process from inception to final communication.
Very good value. This book is exactly what is needed as a first year Architectural and Interior Design students' course book. We have already put it on the year book list.
An excellent book which clearly takes you through the fundamentals of architecture; pointing out elements of architectural interest, key precedent studies and names worth researching further. The book is laid out in a pleasing manner and shows interesting drawings, sketches and quotes. A great book to recommend for any student looking to learn the basics of architectural design as a supplement to their lectures.
The book is very useful as a guide to the discipline in introductory lectures and for general awareness. Good examples of graphics and clear text which are used very well within the book.
