Description

Architecture: Form, Space, and Order is a comprehensive introduction to the basic vocabulary of architectural design, fully updated to reflect the latest developments in the field. With over 800 illustrations, many hand-drawn, this book distills complex concepts of design into a clear focus, bringing difficult abstractions to life.

The fifth edition explores the latest technology and trends in structure, construction, materials, and sustainability, while also highlighting the importance of environmentally responsible buildings. The text's detailed illustrations demonstrate the concepts presented and reveal the relationships between fundamental elements of architecture through the ages and across cultures.

By examining the relationships between form, space, light, view, openings, and enclosures, as well as the organization of space and the elements of circulation, proportion, and scale, Architecture: Form, Space, and Order provides a clear understanding of the principles that underpin architectural design.
