Archispeak - An Illustrated Guide to Architectural Terms (Hardcover): Tom Porter Archispeak - An Illustrated Guide to Architectural Terms (Hardcover)
Tom Porter
R4,407 Discovery Miles 44 070 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Widely used in architectural circles in the heat of discussion, the recurrent use of particular words and terms has evolved a language of design jargon. Commonly found in architectural literature and journalism, in critical design debate and especially in student project reviews, "Archispeak" can seem insular and perplexing to others and -- particularly to the new architectural student -- often incomprehensible.
There is a need to translate architectural design concepts into spoken and written commentary -- each word in use embodying a precise and universally accepted architectural meaning. If we explore the vocabulary of this language we gain insight to design good practice and to collective understanding of what constitutes a refined architecture. This unique illustrated guide will help students understand the nuances of this specialized language and help them in communicating their own design ideas.

This book explores the important relationship between the way we see and the way we draw architectural ideas. The text deals with sensory experience of space, the spatial cues represented in architectural drawing and the relationship between drawing type and design intent. It also addresses new forms of drawing provided by new technological aids such as animated computer graphics and virtual reality. It provides a comprehensive text for students of architecture, interior design and landscape architecture. Tom Porter is a best selling author of graphics books for designers.

Will Alsop - The Noise (Hardcover): Tom Porter Will Alsop - The Noise (Hardcover)
Tom Porter
R3,977 Discovery Miles 39 770 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The design process of Will Alsop acts as a conduit for the dreams and aspirations of others. Moving from public consultation to the privacy of his painting studio - here ideas are born in the liquidity of paint, the serendipity of collage and the flourish of line, resulting in the avant-garde and vibrant designs that Alsop is particularly well known for. Whether the world approves of these designs or not, does not devalue the creative and artistic process which produces so rich, varied, challenging and inspirational outcomes. Focusing on the refreshing process of design with which Will Alsop engages, Tom Porter reveals and traces the process, from public consultation to private studio, from paint to line to model, and in doing so uncovers a treasure trove of ideas for transforming the process of architectural design. Whether a working architect or a student embarking on the first steps towards creating your own design process, this book offers an insight and example into how engaging with the public, before painting the way into architecture, can offer the most stimulating solutions.

Colour for Architecture Today (Hardcover, 2nd edition): Tom Porter, Byron Mikellides Colour for Architecture Today (Hardcover, 2nd edition)
Tom Porter, Byron Mikellides; Foreword by Terry Farrell
R5,272 Discovery Miles 52 720 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

What role does colour play in our built environment? How are our attitudes to colour changing? What potential do new technologies bring for the use of colour and light in architecture?

Combining real examples from practice with colour theory, this book will help you to fully understand the role and impact of colour in our urban spaces. Contributions from leading architects Will Alsop, Legorreta and Legorreta, John Outram, Sauerbruch Hutton and Neuterlings Riedijk accompany those from artists Alain Bony and Yann Kersale, and from colour researchers such as Kristina Enberg and Anders Hard, who developed the Natural Colour System. Topics include:

  • how and why we see colour
  • methodologies in the documentation of traditional colours
  • the development of new urban palettes
  • recent colour psychology research
  • the effect of light levels on human behaviour
  • dramatic colour effects achievable with light
  • guidelines for future deployment of colour in the built environment.

This is a sequel to the immensely influential Colour for Architecture, published in 1976. Much has changed in 30 years; new cutting edge technologies and materials have emerged allowing architects to experiment with colour and light in an energy efficient and sustainable way, paving the way for a more colourful and exciting built environment.

Great Moments in Dissent - The Art of the Eloquent No (Paperback): Tom Porter Great Moments in Dissent - The Art of the Eloquent No (Paperback)
Tom Porter
R429 Discovery Miles 4 290 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Great Moments in Dissent: The Art of the Eloquent No is an assemblage of twenty-four bold protests against social norms not accustomed to being questioned. Included are some lesser-known, but no less formidable, works such as Robert Emmet's "Speech Before Lord Norbury," Frederick Douglass' "What to a Slave is the Fourth of July," Rose Schneiderman's response to the Triangle Shirtwaist Fire and Ho Chi Minh's letter to U.S. Secretary of State Robert Lansing after the end of the First World War. While the targets may differ, the dissenters herein share an uncommon felicity of expression that propels these luminaries including Mother Jones, Mahatma Gandhi and Judge John Marshall Harlan to heights of intellectual combat seldom witnessed in recorded history. Together these works constitute an owner's manual for the human mind and serve as a source of inspiration for readers dedicated to elevating an evolving civilization.

The airbrush, considered a technically daunting instrument, renders mass, volume, light, color, and surface more accurately and elegantly than the customary presentation tools of architects and interior designers. But it offers rich effects worth using, even in the computer age.
