How to Read Architecture is based on the fundamental premise that
reading and interpreting architecture is something we already do,
and that close observation matters. This book enhances this skill
so that given an unfamiliar building, you will have the tools to
understand it and to be inspired by it. Author Paulette Singley
encourages you to misread, closely read, conventionally read, and
unconventionally read architecture to stimulate your creative
process. This book explores three essential ways to help you
understand architecture: reading a building from the outside-in,
from the inside-out, and from the position of out-and-out, or
formal, architecture. This book erodes boundaries between the
frequently compartmentalized fields of interior design, landscape
design, and building design with chapters exploring concepts of
terroir, scenography, criticality, atmosphere, tectonics,
inhabitation, type, form, and enclosure. Using examples and case
studies that span a wide range of historical and global precedents,
Singley addresses the complex interaction among the ways a building
engages its context, addresses its performative exigencies, and
operates as an autonomous aesthetic object. Including over 300
images, this book is an essential read for both undergraduate and
postgraduate students of architecture with a global focus on the
interpretation of buildings in their context.
