Architectural Topographies is a critical dictionary for architects
and landscape architects in which the graphic lexicon can be read
from a beginning, the ground, to a conclusion, the specific case
studies. Meant as a tool to help you recognise, analyse, choose,
and invent solutions, the book's key words refer to the physical
and material relationship between construction and ground; to where
and how the link is built; to the criteria, methods, and tools used
to know and transform the ground; and to the possible approaches to
the place and their implications on the way the earth is touched.
Fifty case studies by forty-six of the greatest architects of the
previous hundred years are represented throughout in sectional
drawings which place the buildings along the same ground plane to
illustrate how the key words might be combined and to show each
architect's position on their built work in relation to all the
others. Includes projects by Alvar Aalto; Tadao Ando; Gunnar
Asplund; Atelier Bow-Wow; Joao Batista Vilanova Artigas; Patrick
Berger; Mario Botta; Marcel Breuer; Erik Bryggman; Goncalo Byrne;
