Korydon Smith, Miguel Guitart
R1,152 Discovery Miles 11 520 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Building on the success of the first edition; an engaging and reader-friendly work on complex ideas, Introducing Architectural Theory: Expanding the Disciplinary Debate broadens the range of themes, voices, and geographies represented, to provide a more comprehensive and contemporary theory book. This book presents major discourses in architectural theory and design in a debate-like format, integrating a series of edited texts across architectural history with context and newly written commentaries by the authors. This new edition has been fully revised, updated and expanded to include long-standing debates, such as simplicity vs. complexity or the relationship between form and function, as well as newer discussions on innovation, globalization, and social equity. Authors Smith and Guitart provide a comprehensive means and conceptual framework for readers to compare multiple points of view. The chapter structure, discussion questions, and additional resources allow teachers to facilitate in-class discussions and writing assignments. Introducing Architectural Theory: Expanding the Disciplinary Debate remains the most accessible architectural theory textbook, written for beginning architecture students and those outside the discipline. Its reflective and critical approach will equally engage the minds of upper-level students and experts.

Diversity and Design - Understanding Hidden Consequences (Hardcover): Beth Tauke, Korydon Smith, Charles Davis Diversity and Design - Understanding Hidden Consequences (Hardcover)
Beth Tauke, Korydon Smith, Charles Davis
R5,504 Discovery Miles 55 040 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Diversity and Design explores how design - whether of products, buildings, landscapes, cities, media, or systems - affects diverse members of society. Fifteen case studies in television, marketing, product design, architecture, film, video games, and more, illustrate the profound, though often hidden, consequences design decisions and processes have on the total human experience. The book not only investigates how gender, race, class, age, disability, and other factors influence the ways designers think, but also emphasizes the importance of understanding increasingly diverse cultures and, thus, averting design that leads to discrimination, isolation, and segregation. With over 140 full-color illustrations, chapter summaries, discussion questions and exercises, Diversity and Design is a valuable tool to help you understand the importance of designing for all.

Introducing Architectural Theory - Debating a Discipline (Hardcover, New): Korydon Smith, Miguel Guitart Introducing Architectural Theory - Debating a Discipline (Hardcover, New)
Korydon Smith, Miguel Guitart
R5,522 Discovery Miles 55 220 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This is the most accessible architectural theory book that exists. Korydon Smith presents each common architectural subject such as tectonics, use, and site as though it were a conversation across history between theorists by providing you with the original text, a reflective text, and a philosophical text. He also introduces each chapter by highlighting key ideas and asking you a set of reflective questions so that you can hone your own theory, which is essential to both your success in the studio and your adaptability in the profession. These primary source texts, which are central to your understanding of the discipline, were written by such architects as Le Corbusier, Robert Venturi, and Adrian Forty. The appendices also have guides to aid your reading comprehension; to help you write descriptively, analytically, and disputationally; and to show you citation styles and how to do library-based research. More than another architectural theory book about the great thinkers, Introducing Architectural Theory teaches you to think as well.
