NEW 2ND EDITION

Understanding Architecture Through Drawing

NEW

Doorway

Brian Edwards, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK

Simon Unwin, University of Dundee, UK

This new edition is an introduction to design and graphic techniques aimed to help designers increase their understanding of buildings and places through drawing. For many people the camera has replaced the sketchbook, but the author argues that freehand drawing as a means of analyzing and understanding buildings develops visual sensitivity and awareness of design.

There is a balance of drawing techniques explained as well as guidance provided on how drawing interfaces with with photography, CAD and model making in the genesis of design projects. This second edition incorporates examples from architectural practice, including those of architects such as Lord Foster, Sir Terry Farrell, Edward Cullinan, Richard Murphy and Sir Nicholas Grimshaw.

An Architecture Notebook

Illustrated with numerous drawings and photographs, Doorway is a stimulus to thinking about what can be done with architecture. The notebook style offers an example to student architects of how they might keep their own architecture notebooks, collecting ideas, sorting strategies, generally expanding their understanding of the potential of architecture to modify the world in practical, philosophical and poetic ways.

Though we may take them for granted, doorways impinge on our lives in many ways.

Their powers are even richer and more varied than those of the wall. They can change the ways we behave, and alter how we see our surroundings. They challenge us and protect our territories. They punctuate our experiences as we move from place to place. They set the geometry and measure of our relationship with space. They frame the ‘in-between’ and stand as crystalizations of the moment. With its many dimensions, the doorway is an essential component of what might be called ‘the common language of architecture’.

History, Performance and Conservation

Materials, Specification and Detailing

Barry Bridgwood, Consultant Architectural Technologist, UK and Lindsay Lennie, College of Estate Management, Reading, UK

Foundations of Building Design Norman Wienand, Sheffield Hallam University, UK This volume examines the various layers of knowledge, skills and mechanisms that make up the many approaches to the essential function of technical design in the creation of successful buildings.

Ideal for students of architectural technology, this volume covers the technologies available and the processes necessary for the conservation of existing buildings and environments.

Well-illustrated with case studies, the author draws on his extensive experience in architectural education to provide a detailed description of the development process, acknowledging traditional solutions whilst also encouraging designers to consider innovative alternatives. Attention is paid to materials choices, detail design and specification writing.

To make responsible decisions in this field demands the ability to evaluate such buildings, an extensive understanding of the mechanisms which cause their deterioration, and the technologies available to correct their status. Additionally, the ever higher standards set for buildings, especially in energy conservation contexts, demand that practitioners appreciate the ways by which the performance of existing structures can be enhanced.

Students of architectural technology in particular, but also of architecture, building surveying and construction will find this syllabus-relevant title an invaluable asset in embracing their environmental responsibilities as designers and actively participating in the development of technical design language.

This title provides students with the knowledge and understanding to consider the work of conservation with both a holistic perspective and historical context, making it valuable also for architecture and construction students.

Technologies and Applications

Susannah Hagan, University of East London, UK

Martin Bechthold, Harvard Design School, Cambridge, USA This book focuses on the recent innovations in computational techniques, material and digital fabrication technology that are revolutionizing the design, analysis and construction of surface structures. Powerful analysis tools now enable the accurate prediction of structural behaviour and manufacturing processes. Material innovations in the area of cementitious and other composites, glass, or smart materials, to just name a few, are challenging architects to find appropriate forms and applications. Digitally supported fabrication technology has taken a quantum leap since the time of the master shell builders forty years ago, unfolding new potential to realize complex structural shapes in new and innovative ways. These innovations are presented in the context of an in-depth introduction to the fundamentals of surface structures providing the necessary knowledge for the successful design of shells and tensile systems in a broad variety of materials. Many of the principles are demonstrated using new material of some of the masterpieces in surface architecture.

Susannah Hagan boldly discusses the fraught relationship between key dominating areas of architectural discourse – digital design, environmental design, and avant-garde design.

Digitalia firstly demonstrates that drawing such firm lines between architectural spheres is damaging and foolish, particularly as both environmental and avant-garde practices are experimenting with the digital, and secondly remonstrates with an avant-garde that has repudiated the social/ethical agenda of the modernist avant-garde because it failed the first time round. It is environmental architecture that has picked up the social/ethical ball and is running with it, using the digital to very different, and more far-reaching, ends.

Collected Essays by Mark Goulthorpe, dECOi Architects

American Architectural History

Mark Goulthorpe, MIT, Massachusetts, USA

A Contemporary Reader

Articulating a radical agenda for the rethinking of the basic precepts of the construction industry in light of digital technologies, this book explores the profound shift that is underway in all aspects of architectural praxis. Essays and lectures from the last fifteen years discuss these changes in relation to dECOi Architects, created in 1991 as a forward-looking architectural practice.

This excellent collection will have relevance to architectural professionals, academics and students and also to practitioners in many related creative fields who are similarly engaged in trying to comprehend the disciplinary significance of the import of digital media.

On Altering Architecture Fred Scott The discipline of interior design is distinct from pure architecture in its theories and practices. This new text, brings together ideas of what might constitute a theory of interior, or interventional design, which fills a wide gap in the body of literature covering the design and evolution of interior space in buildings. Of equal concern is the philosophy of conservation, preservation and restoration as the author explores the evolution of buildings and the many social and political issues embedded in these subjects. The masterworks of interventional design found in architectural history are compared and contrasted at length in a compelling way.

Selected Contents: 1. Unchanging Architecture and the Case for Alteration 2. The Literate and the Vernacular 3. Restoration, Preservation and Alteration 4. Parody and Other Views 5.

Philip Steadman, University College London, UK The Evolution of Designs tells the history of the many analogies that have been made, since the end of the 18th century, between the evolution of organisms and the human production of artefacts especially buildings. This book lays out these various analogies and examines their effects on architectural and design theory, especially on the theory of the modern movement in architecture, clarifying some issues which are of wide debate in architecture and design.

Selected Contents: Introduction. The Organic Analogy. The Classificatory Analogy: Building Types and Natural Species. The Anatomical Analogy: Engineering Structure and the Animal Skeleton. The Darwinian Analogy: Trial and Error in the Evolution of Organisms and Artefacts. The Evolution of Decoration. Tools as Organs or as Extensions of the Physical Body. How to Speed up Craft Evolution. Design as Process of Growth.

Biotechnics: Plants and Animals as Inventors. Hierarchical Strcuture and the Adaptive Process. The Consequences of the Biological Fallacy: Functional Determinism. What Remains of the Analogy?

THINKERS FOR ARCHITECTS SERIES

Thinkers for Architects series NEW

Series editor: Adam Sharr, The Welsh School of Architecture, Cardiff University, UK.

2ND EDITION

Practice – Architecture, Technique and Presentation Revised and Expanded Edition Stan Allen, Princeton University, USA Practice: Architecture, Technique and Representation is a book of theoretical essays by architect Stan Allen. Conversant in contemporary theory and architectural history, Allen nonetheless argues that concepts in architecture are not imported from other disciplines, but emerge through the materials and procedures of architectural practice itself. Drawing on his own experience as a working architect, he examines the ways in which the tools available to the architect affect the design and production of buildings.

This new edition includes revised essays together with previously unpublished work.

Allen’s seminal piece on Field Conditions is included in this reworked, revised and redesigned volume. A compelling read for student and practitioner alike.

Selected Contents: Introduction: Practice vs. Project Part 1: Drawings 1.

Constructing with Lines: On Projection 2. Review of Robin Evans: The Projective Cast 3.

THINKERS FOR ARCHITECTS SERIES

Irigaray for Architects

Deleuze & Guattari for Architects

Peg Rawes, The Bartlett School of Architecture, University College of London, UK Specifically for architects, the third title in the Thinkers for Architects series examines the relevance of Luce Irigaray’s work for architecture. Eight thematic chapters explore the bodily, spatio-temporal, political and cultural value of her ideas for making, discussing and experiencing architecture. In particular, each chapter makes accessible Irigaray’s ideas about feminine and masculine spaces with reference to her key texts.

Concisely written, this book introduces Irigaray’s work to practitioners, academics, undergraduate and postgraduate students in architectural design and architectural history and theory, helping them to understand the value of cross- and inter-disciplinary modes of architectural practice.

Andrew Ballantyne, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK The work of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari has been inspirational for architects and architectural theorists in recent years. It has influenced the design work of architects as diverse as Greg Lynn and David Chipperfield, and is regularly cited by avant-gardist architects and by students, but usually without being well understood.

The first collaboration between Deleuze and Guattari was Anti-Oedipus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia, which was taken up as a manifesto for the post-structuralist life, and was associated with the spirit of the student revolts of 1968. Their ideas promote creativity and innovation, and their work is wide-ranging, complex and endlessly stimulating. They range across politics, psychoanalysis, physics, art and literature, changing preconceptions along the way.
