Patterns of architecture : architectural design / Mark Garcia.
Series: Architectural designPublisher: London : Wiley, 2010Edition: 1st edDescription: 144 p. : ill. ; 28 cmISBN: 0470699590 (paperback); 9780470699591 (paperback)Subject(s): Architectural design | Architecture -- Philosophy | Geometry in architecture | Repetitive patterns (Decorative arts)DDC classification: 720 Online resources: Amazon.com Summary: Pattern-making is ubiquitous in both the natural and manmade world. The human propensity for pattern recognition and fabrication is innate. Encompassing the historical, vernacular and parametric, this title explores the creation, materialisation and theorisation of some of the world's most significant and spectacularly patterned spaces. It investigates how interiors, buildings, cities and landscapes are patterned through design, production and manufacturing, use, time, accident and perception. It also brings into focus how contemporary advanced spatial practices and CAD/CAM are now pushing patterns to encompass a greater range of structural, programmatic, aesthetic and material effects and properties. Extending patterns far beyond the surface notion of style and decoration, Patterns of Architecture assesses how and why the deployment of patterns is shaping the future of architecture. Analysed through a multidisciplinary and international series of essays and designs from architects, engineers, academics, researchers and expert professionals in the field.� Key contributors include: Hanif Kara, Patrik Schumacher and Alejandro Zaera-Polo.| Item type | Current location | Home library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
