Precedents in Architecture provides a vocabulary for architectural analysis that will help you understand the works of others, and aid you in creating your own designs. Here, you will examine the work of internationally known architects with the help of a unique diagrammatic technique, which you can also use to analyze existing buildings. In addition to the sixteen original contributors, the Second Edition features seven new, distinguished architects. All 23 architects were selected because of the strength, quality, and interest of their designs.
Mediation: the insertion of some form of progression between two conditions which occur outside the limits of the building. It is common for mediation to occur between two natural conditions, an element in nature and a built form, or two built situations.
