The Fundamentals of Architecture (Fundamentals)

«Основы архитектуры» представляет собой введение в основные идеи архитектуры. Книга предназначена, чтобы разъяснить сложность архитектуры её процесс и сделать её более доступным для изучения. Она представляет студентам богатую истории архитектуры и все аспекты современной теории и практики. The Fundamentals of Architecture is reference for anyone who is interested in an introduction to the basic ideas that affect and inform architecture or interior design and the graphic techniques and language associated with presenting ideas concerned with spatial realisation and experimentation. This book will introduce methods to consider and explain the process of architecture from initial ideas and concepts, how these ideas are informed by understanding site, context and historical precedent. The development of the structure, the materials and the relationship of these deign ideas to the building process.

From the first ideas on a new architectural project, to siting, context, and historical precedent, to development of the structure, materials, and the relationship of design concept to the building process, The Fundamentals of Architecture reveals and illuminates the thinking and planning that goes into great building design. One-volume introduction for students and everyone who admires great architecture. Written by leading scholars. Readable and beautiful. The Fundamentals of Architecture is an introduction to the basic ideas that inform architecture. It guides students through the rich history of the discipline, and acquaints them with contemporary theory and practice.The book explores the process of architecture starting from the initial ideas and concepts, and how these ideas are informed by an understanding of the site. It examines the impact of physical context and historical precedent on a project, and the development of structure, materials and the relationship of these practical concerns to the building process. Lorraine Farrelly introduces methods to consider and explains the process of architecture starting from the initial ideas and concepts, how these ideas are informed by understanding site, context and historical precedent, and the development of structure, materials and the relationship of these design ideas to the building process Introduces methods to consider and explain the process of architecture from initial ideas and concepts, how these ideas are informed by understanding site, context and historical precedent, the development of the structure, the materials and the relationship of these design ideas to the building process.
