Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
"A valuable contribution."—Paul Goldberger, New York Times
"Nearly every page of the book is wittily illustrated
with cartoons, drawings, and photographs. If the coming generation
or architects—and their clients—pay attention to it, America
may someday be a much more agreeable place."—John Fischer,
Harpers As teachers of architectural design, Kent Bloomer
and Charles Moore have attempted to introduce architecture from the
standpoint of how buildings are experienced, how the affect
individuals and communities emotionally and provide us with a sense
of joy, identity, and place. In giving priority to these issues and
in questioning the professional reliance on abstract
two-dimensional drawings, they often find themselves in conflict
with a general and undebated assumption that architecture is a
highly specialized system with a set of prescribed technical goals,
rather than a sensual social art historically derived from
experiences and memories of the human body. This book, an outgrowth
of their joint teaching efforts, places the human body at the
center of our understanding of architectural form. Body, Memory,
and Architecture traces the significance of the body from its place
as the divine organizing principle in the earliest built forms to
its near elimination from architectural thought in this century.
The authors draw on contemporary models of spatial perception as
well as on body-image theory in arguing for a return of the body to
its proper place in the architectural equation.
