false <![CDATA[The Tao of Architecture]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1176839472m/658669.jpg 658669 1 <p>In a contemplative essay that develops a parallel between void, space, time, and the science of vision in Laotzu's philosophy and in modern architecture, Amos Ih Tiao Chang reveals the vitality of intangible, or negative, elements. He writes that these qualities make architectonic forms "come alive, become human, naturally harmonize with one another, and enable us to experience them with human sensibility."</p><p> The author expands Frank Lloyd Wright's thoughts on the affinity between Laotzu's philosophy and modern Western architecture by discussing "Natural Life-Movement in Architectonic Vision," "Variability and Complement," "Balance and Equilibrium," and "Individuality and Unity." He accompanies his text with architectural drawings and four Chinese paintings.</p> 644751 1981 The Tao of Architecture total:10|5:4|4:2|3:3|2:1|1:0| 10 39 15 1 3 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Fri Jun 13 16:14:17 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 15 07:12:24 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Tue Oct 13 08:21:01 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 13 08:21:01 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Jul 30 00:44:08 -0700 2008 Wed Jul 30 00:44:08 -0700 2008 2 0 false false Fri May 23 08:18:49 -0700 2008 Fri May 23 08:18:49 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon May 12 10:50:47 -0700 2008 Mon May 12 10:50:47 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Wed Apr 30 09:37:39 -0700 2008 Wed Apr 30 09:37:39 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Thu Apr 03 21:02:02 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 03 21:02:04 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2000 Wed Mar 19 20:02:06 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 19 20:02:12 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun Jan 20 09:50:58 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 20 09:51:03 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Wed Jan 09 16:35:22 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 09 16:35:22 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Wed Dec 26 22:56:00 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 26 22:56:05 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Wed Jan 30 11:30:32 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 26 16:31:08 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 26 16:31:13 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Wed Dec 05 12:14:02 -0800 2007 Wed Dec 05 12:14:02 -0800 2007 5 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1996 Fri Oct 05 20:42:43 -0700 2007 Fri Oct 05 20:42:43 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Mon Sep 10 17:45:17 -0700 2007 Mon Sep 10 17:45:17 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=658669
