Taylor & Francis Ltd Around and About Stock Orchard Street
Book Synopsis9/10 Stock Orchard Street, colloquially known as the Straw House, is a house and an office designed by two architects for their own use. Completed in 2000, the buildings were experimental in design, execution and inhabitation, and have resisted categorization, challenged received wisdom and provoked debate, especially among architectural critics.With access to all the material records of the project, this book responds to that debate by presenting multi-faceted narratives from a wide range of writers that have been invited to reflect both positively and negatively on what the buildings represent and how they have performed. Using the buildings as the central case study, it situates them in a broader cultural context, revealing the breadth of conversations and issues engaged by architecture.Highly illustrated with original material, including the authors' own drawings and with specially-commissioned photographs, this book discusses theory, practice, ethics, materiaTrade Review"A tale of architecture getting back to its roots, reminding us, as we plough through our latest client's crippling appointment document, of all the resons why we strove to become architects, and giving clues as to how we might once again stick our necks out and the benefits of doing so to architecture." – Sean Griffiths, Building Design"Stock Orchard Street is one of those wild and influential projects in architecture that, just occasionally, re-direct our thinking. This book, that delves into the messiness of building, Renaissance ethics, contextual design and feminist materiality, is as exploratory, incidental, argumentative, open, polemical and enjoyable as the building itself. It celebrates the magical tension between us, our built environment and our notions of how that environment should be." – Kevin McCloud, author, broadcaster and designer"Like the house it assesses and celebrates, Around and About Stock Orchard Street is a one-off, a sum that is greater than its eclectic, eccentric, inventive parts. Touring the views presented by the house's makers and admirers is, in its way, as enjoyable as touring the house itself, and reminds us of what we still lack in any abundance in British architecture: a poetics of the 'hairy'." – Susannah Hagan, Professor of Urban Studies, University of Brighton"A tale of architecture getting back to its roots, reminding us, as we plough through our latest client's crippling appointment document, of all the resons why we strove to become architects, and giving clues as to how we might once again stick our necks out and the benefits of doing so to architecture." – Sean Griffiths, Building Design“This is a significant and engaging type of book about architectural practice that captures well the complexity of issues that influence on the design and construction process of the building...As a whole I hope that the book will serve as a blueprint for a new kind of writing on architecture that helps to open up the profession to a much wider public audience.” – Dr. Jan Kattein, The Journal of Space SyntaxTable of ContentsForeword.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Beginning Design Technology
Book SynopsisBeginning Design Technology introduces how design technologies work together, including tools, materials, and software, such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Autodesk AutoCAD, and others. It teaches you how to think about each design tool, whether a software program or physical modelmaking, so that you will select one for its strengths for a specific task and know when and how to combine it with other tools.Topics include working with building information, texturing digital and physical artifacts, translating information from one form or file format to another, constructing at full-scale, and making digital and physical models. Chapter Summaries, exercises, discussion questions, a glossary, an appendix of common software commands, and an annotated bibliography will help you find what you need quickly and put the information into practice.Trade ReviewMike Christenson has done an invaluable service with this book, explaining in clear and concise ways the complete and sometimes confusing array of technologies that beginning design students face in college. He doesn’t just describe these technologies and explain how they work; he also guides the reader in how to think about them and when to use – or not use – them, depending upon the situation. This is a must-have book for every design student just starting out. - Thomas Fisher, University of MinnesotaBeginning Design Technology makes a timely addition to any architecture school library. Unlike the typical 'how-to' introductory textbook, this publication helps architecture students to ask important 'why-to' questions about the use of various digital and analog design tools. - Andrzej Piotrowski, School of Architecture, University of Minnesota Table of ContentsPreface Acknowledgements Introduction 1.
