An Architecture Notebook

TRAMA

A companion volume to the author's successful text, "Analysing Architecture," this new book, using the same approach and format explores further conceptual themes in architecture. These books might be considered as manuals of basic architectural ideas and will contribute to the student architect's understanding of the way in which architecture may be expressed and will help student to develop their own design skills.

NOTE EDITORE

An Architecture Notebook builds on the foundation of Simon Unwin's previous book Analysing Architecture (Routledge, 1997). Using numerous examples, illustrated with clear line drawings, this volume describes and illustrates the many powers attaching to one of the most basic of architectural elements, the wall.Like its predecessor, An Architecture Notebook is a stimulus to thinking about what one can do with architecture. It also offers an example to student architects of how they might keep their own architecture notebooks, collecting ideas, sorting strategies, generally expanding their understanding of the potential of architecture in changing the world.
