Descriere

This book is an introduction to the artistic urge that impels humans to build, as well as to the structural properties that enable buildings to stand up, exploring the pragmatic concerns of space, function, structure, and design of architecture.

Recenzii

“Superbly illustrated throughout. . . It remains the only text to discuss architecture as a cultural phenomenon, making this a top recommendation. . . . Understanding Architecture is the ideal textbook for classroom curriculums and a very strongly recommended addition to both community and academic Architectural Studies reference collections.”
—The Midwest Book Review

Praise for Previous Editions:

“I enthusiastically recommend this 2nd edition, which includes a comprehensive new chapter on such contemporary architectural trends as postmodern traditionalism, neoexpressionism, deconstruction, critical regionalism, and sustainable architecture. Understanding Architecture is a versatile main text that works well for both general humanities courses and more advanced classes in architectural history.”
—Dr. David Seamon, Professor of Architecture, Kansas State University

"Powerful and Moving."
—Judith Cushman-Hammer, Appalachian State University
