Kendall/Hunt Publishing Co ,U.S. Creation in Space A Course in the Fundamentals of Architecture Volume 1 Architectronics
Book SynopsisCreation in Space: Fundamentals of Architecture, Volumes 1 and 2, by Jonathan Friedman, provide all basic projects, guided instruction, commentaries, and selected readings for a full year course in the fundamentals of architecture. It is designed to cover not only the normal technical requirements - drawing skills and techniques such as planimetrics, axonometrics and perspective projection, freehand drawing, and abrication skills for model making - but also fundamental design issues such as figure-ground ambiguity, proportion, scale, light and shade, and circulation. The two volumes of Creation in Space together provide a basic introduction to understanding architecture. The works assume no previous knowledge of the subject, only that all of us were architects as young children playing with blocks.Table of Contents Preface, ix Foreword by Robert Slutzky, xii Introduction: Foundation, 1 Study 1 UNITYThinking: The Parthenon, 23 Projecting: Parti, geometry and proportion, 25 Doing: Sticks and stones; torn paper, 27 Reflecting: On the Plastic, 29 Study 2 DIALOGPreview: Ise Shrine, dialog of place and time, 35 2A Dialog "rough"Thinking: Leaf Retreat, 37 Projecting: Making plans, 38 Doing: Sticks and stones; square field, 41 Reflecting: Rose Windows: geometrical schemes, 43 2B Dialog "dressed"Thinking: Facade of Notre Dame, 49 Projecting: Axonometric, Diamond Thesis, 51 Doing: Rods and cubes; squares in and on squares, 53 Reflecting: Leaf Retreat and Wall House, a debate, 55 Study 3 VOLUMEThinking: Rock Cut Church of Lalibala, 61 Projecting: Figure-ground, solid-void, shade and shadows, 63 Doing: Solid-void ambiguity; figure-ground tiles, 65 Reflecting: The Representation of Space, 67 Study 4 TRANSFORMATIONThinking: Falling Water, 75 Projecting: The evolution of form, 77 Doing: Explosion: extension in space; hierarchy, 79 Reflecting: The Destruction of the Box, Fractals, 81 Study 5 EXPRESSIONThinking: Ronchamp, 87 Projecting: Perspective, 89 Doing: Euclidean forms; graphic character, 91 Reflecting: The Poetics of Music, 93 Study 6 TIMEPIECEThinking: Stonehenge, 103 Projecting: Sun angles and the motion of the earth, 107 Doing: A place that measures time; layering, 109 Reflecting: Transparency: Literal and Phenomenal, 113 Study 7 FREE EXERCISEThinking: The studio as possibility, 123 Projecting: What comes next?, 125 Doing: Temple, labyrinth, tower, wall, 129 Reflecting: Nothing is transmissible but thought, 134 APPENDIXThe Kit of Parts, 142 Tools and Equipment, 144 Documentation, 146 Visual Glossary, 148 Bibliography, 181 Credits, 184 Index, 188

Taylor & Francis Ltd Estate Regeneration Learning from the Past
Book SynopsisOne hundred years ago, the Addison Act created the circumstances for the large scale construction of municipal housing in the UK. This would lead to the most prolific phases of housing estate building the country has ever seen. The legacy of this historic period has been tackled for the last twenty-five years as these estates began to suffer from misguided allocation policies, systemic building and fabric failure and financial austerity. A series of estate regeneration programmes sought to rectify the mistakes of the past. Estate Regeneration describes 24 of these regeneration schemes from across the UK and the design philosophy and resident engagement which formed each new community. A number of essays from a wide range of industry experts amplify the learning experience from some key estate regeneration initiatives and provide observations on the broader issues of this sector of the housing market. Regeneration is inevitable; it is a matter of the form whTable of ContentsPart One: PioneeringEssay: The Peckham Partnership - Michael HillBrownfield EstateBow CrossSilwood Estate Tredegar EstatePart Two: PragmaticEssay: Regeneration - Brendan SarsfieldThe City MillsOrchard VillagePackington EstateParkside PlaceThe AmericasPart Three: UtopianEssay: Regeneration, turning threat into opportunity - Paul BridgeLakewoodParkside EstateDevonportOval QuarterLauriestonApple GrovePart Four: EvolutionaryEssay: Housing Regeneration, why is it so difficult? - Peter Bishop Maiden LaneAberfeldy New VillageStockwell Park EstatePark CentralSouth Kilburn EstatePart Five: VisionaryEssay: The Future - Manisha PatelPortobello SquareChobham ManorClapham ParkHigh Path Estate
