Two Spheres (eBook, PDF)

Physical and Strategic Design in Architecture

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Explaining the connection between physical and strategic design, this book proposes an aesthetic connection between two equal aspects of architectural design: the Real and the Ideal. From a historical perspective to some of the key conflicts in architectural thought, the book describes forms of complexity and the possibilities in fully embracing complexity in architectural practice.

With a focus on the relationship between complexity and design in a comprehensive approach, this is suitable either as a seminar text, a guide to contemporary design issues, or as a theoretical work.
