Description

Analysing Architecture: The Universal Language of Place-making by Simon Unwin is now in its fifth edition and has become an internationally established introduction to architecture. This clear and accessible guide offers insight into the workings of this rich subject, using copious illustrations from the author's own notebooks to dissect examples from around the world and all periods of history.

The book explains the underlying strategies in architectural design and shows how drawing can be used as a medium for analysis. The new edition has been revised and expanded, with four new chapters added to explore themes in spatial organisation, including 'Axis', 'Grid', 'Datum Place' and 'Hidden'. With its clear explanations and illustrative examples, Analysing Architecture will help students navigate the demands of an architecture course.

Works of architecture are instruments for managing our relationship with the world around us. They frame everything we do. This book provides a valuable resource for understanding this complex and rewarding discipline.
