Each of these Analysing Architecture Notebooks is devoted to a
particular theme in understanding the rich and varied workings of
architecture. They can be thought of as addenda to the foundation
volume Analysing Architecture, which first appeared in 1997 and has
subsequently been enlarged in three further editions. Examining
these extra themes as a series of Notebooks, rather than as
additional chapters in future editions, allows greater space for
more detailed exploration of a wider variety of examples, whilst
avoiding the risk of the original book becoming unwieldy. Curve is
a divisive issue in architecture. Some see curves as expensive and
decadent; others as an expression of transcendence - a way that the
human mind can express its freedom from quotidian constraints. Yet
others use curves to emulate some of the most beautiful forms in
nature. This Notebook considers the various authorities to which
architects look for the generation of their curves. It also
considers the aspirations curves manifest in architectural form.
