Publisher's Synopsis
Highly specialized yet fundamental theories of design are organized and simplified in this guide, which aims to a gap in the design literature. By opening up architecture to the full realm of creative influences, "Poetics of Architecture" should help readers produce designs that are richer on spatial, sensual, spiritual and environmental levels. Channels of creative thinking favoured during the modern and post-modern movement are discussed, and theoretical positions are clarified by numerous examples, tables and illustrations. Among the examples included are projects by noted architects that have not been covered by the media. This source offers a multilayered perspective that should increase the versatility and creativity of architects and designers in the studio.;This book should be of interest to architects and designers.
