Architecture can seem complicated, mysterious or even ill-defined,
especially to a student being introduced to architectural ideas for
the first time. One way to approach architecture is simply as the
design of human environments. When we consider architecture in this
way, there is a good place to start - ourselves. Our engagement in
our environment has shaped the way we think which we, in turn, use
to then shape that environment. It is from this foundation that we
produce meaning, make sense of our surroundings, structure
relationships and even frame more complex and abstract ideas. This
is the start of architectural design. Making Architecture Through
Being Human is a reference book that presents 51 concepts, notions,
ideas and actions that are fundamental to human thinking and how we
interpret the environment around us. The book focuses on the
application of these ideas by architectural designers to produce
meaningful spaces that make sense to people. Each idea is isolated
for clarity in the manner of a dictionary with short and concise
definitions, examples and illustrations. They are organized in five
sections of increasing complexity or changing focus. While many of
the entries might be familiar to the reader, they are presented
here as instances of a larger system of human thinking rather than
simply graphic or formal principles. The cognitive approach to
these design ideas allows a designer to understand the greater
context and application when aligned with their own purpose or
intentions.
