Marco Frascari's Dream House - A Theory of Imagination (Paperback): Marco Frascari, Federica Goffi Marco Frascari's Dream House - A Theory of Imagination (Paperback)
Marco Frascari, Federica Goffi
R1,298 Discovery Miles 12 980 Ships in 9 - 17 working days

This previously unpublished work is essential reading for anyone who has followed Marco Frascari's scholarship and teachings over the last three decades. It also provides the perfect introduction for anyone new to his writings. As ever, Frascari does not offer prescriptive tools and frameworks to enact his theories of drawing and imagination; instead, he teaches how to build one's own through individual practice. An illuminating introduction places the text in a wider context, providing the reader with a fascinating and important context and understanding to this posthumous work. Frascari's sketchbooks are reproduced faithfully in full colour to provide the reader with a remarkable insight into the design process of this influential mind.

Eleven Exercises in the Art of Architectural Drawing - Slow Food for the Architect's Imagination (Hardcover, New): Marco... Eleven Exercises in the Art of Architectural Drawing - Slow Food for the Architect's Imagination (Hardcover, New)
Marco Frascari
R5,829 Discovery Miles 58 290 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This book deals with the critical nature and crucial role of architectural drawings. A manual which is essentially not a manual; it is an elucidation of an elegant manner for practising architecture.

Organized around eleven exercises, the book does not emphasize speed, nor incorporate many timesaving tricks typical of drawing books, but rather proposes a slow, meditative process for construing drawings and for drawing constructing thoughts.

This is an indispensable reference text and an effective textbook for students seeking to advance their appreciation of the nature and exercise of architectural drawings.

From Models to Drawings - Imagination and Representation in Architecture (Hardcover, New): Marco Frascari, Jonathan Hale,... From Models to Drawings - Imagination and Representation in Architecture (Hardcover, New)
Marco Frascari, Jonathan Hale, Bradley Starkey
R4,491 Discovery Miles 44 910 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This edited collection addresses the vital role of the imagination in the critical interpretation of architectural representations. By challenging the contemporary tendency for computer-aided drawings to become mere models for imitation in the construction of buildings, the articles explore the broader range of methods and meanings at stake in the creation and interpretation of architectural drawings, models, images and artefacts.

These critical and often practice-led investigations are placed alongside a range of historical studies considering the development of representational techniques such as perspective, orthography and diagramming. By also addressing the use of visual representation in a number of related disciplines such as visual arts, film, performance and literature, the book opens up debates in architecture to important developments in other fields.

This book is key reading for all students of architecture and architectural theory.
