The underlying theme of Twenty-Five+ Buildings Every Architect
Should Understand is the relationship of architecture to the human
being, how it frames our lives and orchestrates our experience; how
it can help us make sense of the world and contribute to our sense
of identity and place. Exploring these dimensions through a wide
range of case studies that illustrate the rich diversity of
twentieth- and twenty-first-century architecture, this book is
essential reading for every architect. With the addition of
numerous shorter analyses, this new edition covers an even greater
range of architectural ideas, providing students and architects
with further inspiration for exploration in their own design work.
Architects live by ideas. But where do they come from? And how do
they shape buildings? There is no one right way to do architecture.
This book illustrates many. Its aim is to explore the rich
diversity of architectural creativity by analysing a wide range of
examples to extract the ideas behind them. Twenty-Five+ Buildings
Every Architect Should Understand is a companion to Simon Unwin’s
Analysing Architecture: the Universal Language of Place- Making
(most recent edition, 2021), and part of the trilogy which also
includes his Exercises in Architecture: Learning to Think as an
Architect (second edition, 2022). Together the three books offer an
introduction to the workings of architecture providing for the
three aspects of learning: theory, examples and practice.
Twenty-Five+ Buildings focusses on analysing examples using the
methodology offered by Analysing Architecture, which operates
primarily through the medium of drawing. An underlying theme of
Twenty-Five+ Buildings Every Architect Should Understand is the
relationship of architecture to the human being, how it frames our
lives and orchestrates our experiences; how it can help us give
form to the world and contributes to our senses of identity and
place. Exploring these dimensions through case studies that
illustrate the rich diversity of twentieth- and
twenty-first-century architecture, this book is essential reading,
and hopefully an inspiration, for every architect. In this new
edition supplementary analysis and discussion has been added to
each of the twenty-five case studies, drawing attention to their
influences from and on other architects. A number of extra shorter
analyses have been included too, following the practice of
presenting extra small dishes interspersed among main courses in
high-end restaurants. These additional short analyses account for
the + sign after ‘Twenty-Five’ in the title of this edition,
and double the number of buildings analysed to around fifty.
