by Samir Younes, Carroll William Westfall
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
Architectural Type and Character provides an alternative perspective to the current role given to history in architecture, reunifying architectural history and architectural design to reform architectural discourse and practice.
Historians provide important material for appreciating buildings and guiding those who produce them.
In current histories, a building is the product of a time, its form follows its function, irresistible influences produce it, and style, preferably novel, is its most important attribute.
This book argues for an alternative. Through a two-part structure, the book first develops the theoretical foundations for this alternative history of architecture.
The second part then provides drawings and interpretations of over one hundred sites from different times and places. Architectural Type and Character: A Practical Guide to a History of Architecture is an excellent desk reference and studio guide for students and architectures alike to understand, analyze, and create buildings.
