K. Ching. Each page has been meticulously revised to incorporate contemporary examples of the principles of form, space, and order-the fundamental vocabulary of every designer. The result is a beautifully illustrated volume that embraces today's forms and looks at conventional models with a fresh perspective. Here, Ching examines every principal of architecture, juxtaposing images that span centuries and cross cultural boundaries to create a design vocabulary that is both elemental and timeless. Among the topics covered are point, line, plane, volume, proportion, scale, circulation, and the interdependence of form and space. While this revision continues to be a comprehensive primer on the ways form and space are interrelated and organized in the shaping of our environment, it has been refined to amplify and clarify concepts. In addition, the Second Edition contains:<br> * Numerous new hand-rendered drawings<br> * Expanded sections on openings and scale<br> * Expanded chapter on design principles<br> * New glossary and index categorized by the author<br> * New 8 1/2 × 11 upright trim<br> In the Second Edition of Architecture: Form, Space, and Order, the author has opted for a larger format and crisper images. Mr. Ching has retained the style of his hand-lettered text, a hallmark of each of his books. This rich source of architectural prototypes, each rendered in Mr. Ching's signature style, also serves as a guide to architectural drawing. Doubtless, many will want this handsome volume for the sheer beauty of it. Architects and students alike will treasure this book for its wealth of practical information and its precise illustrations. Mr. Ching has once again created a visual reference that illuminates the world of architectural form. 67950 1 1 1996 Architecture: Form, Space, and Order total:146|5:69|4:35|3:29|2:7|1:6| 146 592 210 15 5 0 false false Thu May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 22 13:47:49 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 22 13:50:40 -0700 2008 Architecture: Form, Space, & Order serves as an excellent introduction to architectural design.
