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. Shadows
may be insubstantial but they are, nevertheless, an important
element in architecture. In prehistoric times we sought shade as a
refuge from the hot sun and chilling rain. Through history
architects have used shadows to draw, to mould form, to paint
pictures, to orchestrate atmosphere, to indicate the passing of
time ... as well as to identify place. Sometimes shadow can be the
substance of architecture.
