"Architectural Theory: Vitruvius to 1870" is a landmark anthology
that surveys the development of the field of architecture from its
earliest days to the year 1870. The first truly comprehensive
anthology that brings together the classic essays in the field, the
volume chronicles the major developments and trends in architecture
from Vitruvius to Gottfried Semper.
This second volume of the landmark Architectural Theory anthology
surveys the development of architectural theory from the
Franco-Prussian war of 1871 until the end of the twentieth century.
Together with volume I, it is the first anthology to follow the
full range of architectural literature from its beginnings in
classical times to its impact today.
The Architect's Brain: Neuroscience, Creativity, and Architecture is the first book to consider the relationship between the neurosciences and architecture, offering a compelling and provocative study in the field of architectural theory. * Explores various moments of architectural thought over the last 500 years as a cognitive manifestation of philosophical, psychological, and physiological theory * Looks at architectural thought through the lens of the remarkable insights of contemporary neuroscience, particularly as they have advanced within the last decade * Demonstrates the neurological justification for some very timeless architectural ideas, from the multisensory nature of the architectural experience to the essential relationship of ambiguity and metaphor to creative thinking
A sharp and lively text that covers issues in depth but not to the point that they become inaccessible to beginning students, An Introduction to Architectural Theory is the first narrative history of this period, charting the veritable revolution in architectural thinking that has taken place, as well as the implications of this intellectual upheaval. * The first comprehensive and critical history of architectural theory over the last fifty years * surveys the intellectual history of architecture since 1968, including criticisms of high modernism, the rise of postmodern and poststructural theory, critical regionalism and tectonics * Offers a comprehensive overview of the significant changes that architectural thinking has undergone in the past fifteen years * Includes an analysis of where architecture stands and where it will likely move in the coming years
