For more than thirty years, the beautifully illustrated
Architecture: Form, Space, and Order has been the classic introduction
to the basic vocabulary of architectural design. This classic visual reference
helps both students and practicing architects understand the basic vocabulary
of architectural design by examining how form and space are ordered in the
built environment.
Using his trademark meticulous drawing, Professor
Ching shows the relationship between fundamental elements of architecture
through the ages and across cultural boundaries. By looking at these seminal
ideas, Architecture: Form, Space, and Order encourages the reader to
look critically at the built environment and promotes a more evocative
understanding of architecture. |
