Taylor & Francis Ltd The Art of City Sketching A Field Manual
Book SynopsisThe Art of City Sketching: A Field Manual guides readers through the process of freehand architectural sketching and explains orthographic, diagrammatic, three-dimensional, and perceptual-type drawings. The book presents hundreds of drawings of historic buildings and urban spaces, examples, and exercises, which help readers develop their drawing skills and employ sketching as an analytical tool. The book is divided into three parts, based on the reader's skill level: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. As an architect and field sketching instructor, the author shows that through drawing the reader can discover, analyze, and comprehend the built environment. The new edition of The Art of City Sketching expands on the drawing techniques of the previous version by adding new drawing examples, exercises, and two new chaptersChiaroscuro and Storyboard. New drawing tips, demonstrations, and composition do's and don'ts will support readers whenTrade ReviewIn The Art of City Sketching, Michael Abrams reminds us that one of most innate and intriguing of human abilities is our capacity to use our hands as a sensing device for "seeing," perceiving, and knowing our environments. Like spending time outdoors, eating well, and exercising, sketching is a way to engage in the kinds of full-body, sensory experiences that humans need in order to feel healthy. In this important book, Abrams beckons us into the world of sketching by using accessible language and an extensive collection of compelling original images to illustrate how beginners and those with years of practice alike can experience the full range of benefits of sketching. -Jana VanderGoot, RA, Associate Professor in Architecture, University of Maryland School of Architecture, Planning, Preservation, and Real Estate DevelopmentNow more than ever, The Art of City Sketching is proving itself to be an essential reference for architects, landscape architects, and urbanists. In an age preoccupied with digital simulations, parametrics, automations, and abstractions, where the designed artifact is often understood as an object estranged from its context, The Art of City Sketching affirms tools that have been essential to designers for centuries, namely drawing by hand and diagramming in situ. Michael Abram’s book challenges readers to imagine a myriad of ways in which the city can be represented and interpreted. It supports the notion that the individual building, or the unique place within a city, are all part of a broader and richer urban context that contribute to the utility, beauty, and meaning of a designed urban set-piece. And, what better way is there to understand architecture, landscape, and the city than by keeping a sketchbook or a visual journal? - Brian Kelly, AIA, Professor, Associate Dean for Development and Faculty Affairs, Area Chair / Director, Architecture Program, School of Architecture, Planning & Preservation, University of MarylandIn times overcome by the advantages of digital representation, Michael Abrams recognizes free-hand sketching as a current and valuable tool to explore and exploit the intricate relationship between the human eye, hand, and mind to properly represent what we see, understand, think, and feel about the built environment. Impressive in quantity and quality, the exemplary sketches in this book attest to the relevance of free hand drawing as a fundamental translator of design intentions whether observed in analysis or proposed in design. For anyone committed to improve on his/her drawing ability, the lessons in this book are thorough, well organized, and carefully delivered to effectively assist in the development of practical skill and technique. -Juan C. Penabad-Sánchez, Assistant Professor, Architectural Design & Method, University of Puerto RicoThe feedback loop that’s created between the hand, eyes, and brain, while sketching, is an invaluable way of comprehending the world around you. In the age of SketchUp and Revit, learning this analog method and concentrating on how to see are imperative for the beginning architecture or design student. Sketching brings to life one’s ideas and makes them visible, ultimately, communicating intentions. This book is highly accessible and underscores succinct, yet important lessons that brings an analytic approach to each topic, providing the "why" to the "what" and "how" of sketching.- Catherine K. Anderson, Assistant Professor of Interior Architecture, The George Washington UniversityThe Art of City Sketching is an essential graphic handbook for students and emergent professionals of architecture and urban design. In an immediately accessible way, and through beautifully rendered illustrations, the book provides clear tips, lessons, and principles for drawing space and place.-Austin Raimond, Adjunct Professorial Lecturer of Interior Architecture, The George Washington UniversityTable of ContentsINTRODUCTION SKETCHING SUPPLIES GENERAL DRAWING TIPS PART I BEGINNER: ORTHOGRAPHIC PROJECTION 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd StreetLevel Architecture
Book SynopsisThis book provides the tools to maintain and rebuild the interaction between architecture and public space. Despite the best intentions of designers and planners, interactive frontages have dwindled over the past century in Europe and North America. This book demonstrates why even our best intentions for interactive frontages are currently unable to turn a swelling tide of economic and technological evolution, land consolidation, introversion, stratification, and contagious decline. It uses these lessons to offer concrete locational, programming, design, and management strategies to maximize street-level interaction and trust between street-level architecture, its inhabitants, and the city. This book demonstrates that designers, developers, planners, and managers ultimately have to create the right preconditions for inhabitants and passersby to bring frontages to life. These preconditions connect architecture to its urban, social, economical, and technological context. Only tTable of ContentsPreface by Hans Karssenberg.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Megaregional China
Book SynopsisThis book unravels China's new megaregional structure, new megaregional planning and development, new megaregional governance, and new regional planning system. It draws upon a diversity of megaregional cases: city clusters of the BeijingTianjinHebei region, Yangtze River delta region, and Greater Bay Area; and metropolitan circles of Chengdu, Hangzhou, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Zhengzhou.Megaregions are the new form of Chinese-style urbanisation. China's new discourse of high-quality development' and new-type urbanisation' is reshaping its megaregional strategy. Imbalance and fragmentation characterise the diversity of megaregions - developed or developing, coastal or inland. The central goal of megaregional planning and governance is to achieve integrated, balanced development of them. Hu challenges the official notion of top-level design' that dominates the planning, governance, and development of China's megaregions. Instead, he argues for the importance of engagTable of Contents1 Megaregions and urban China 2 Planning megaregions 3 Developing metropolitan circles: Issues and challenges 4 The dragon’s head in spatial imaginary: Integrating Shanghai and the Yangtze River delta region 5 ‘One country, two cities’: Relational planning of Shenzhen and Hong Kong in the Greater Bay Area
