Now in its fifth edition, Analysing Architecture has become
internationally established as the best introduction to
architecture. Aimed primarily at those studying architecture, it
offers a clear and accessible insight into the workings of this
rich and fascinating subject. With copious illustrations from his
own notebooks, the author dissects examples from around the world
and all periods of history to explain the underlying strategies in
architectural design and show how drawing may be used as a medium
for analysis. In this new edition, Analysing Architecture has been
revised and expanded. Notably, the chapter on 'How Analysis Can
Help Design' has been redeveloped to clearly explain this crucially
important aspect of study to a beginner readership. Four new
chapters have been added to the section dealing with Themes in
Spatial Organisation, on 'Axis', 'Grid', 'Datum Place' and
'Hidden'. Material from the 'Case Studies' in previous editions has
been redistributed amongst earlier chapters. The 'Introduction' has
been completely rewritten; and the format of the whole book has
been adjusted to allow for the inclusion of more and better
illustrative examples. Works of architecture are instruments for
managing, orchestrating, modifying our relationship with the world
around us. They frame just about everything we do. Architecture is
complex, subtle, frustrating... but ultimately extremely rewarding.
It can be a difficult discipline to get to grips with; nothing in
school quite prepares anyone for the particular demands of an
architecture course. But this book will help.
