It explores the author's fascination with the voices of architects, engineers, builders, and craftspeople, whose ideas about building have been documented in written text. The book discusses the content of treatises, essays, articles, and letters written by individuals who have dedicated their lives to the art of building throughout history. In this exploration, Building Theories advocates for the revival of an architectural theory that is deeply intertwined with buildings, buildings, and builders. This close reading reinterprets the words of renowned architects such as Vitruvius, Alberti, de L'Orme, Le Camus de Mézières, Boullée, Laugier, Rondelet, Semper, Viollet-le-Duc, Hübsch, Bötticher, Berlage, Muthesius, Wagner, Behrendt, Gropius, and Arup. The book is organized into chapters dedicated to texts from antiquity, the Renaissance, and the nineteenth century, with a critical eye on architectural theory popularized in the Anglo-Saxon world post-1968. Through its comprehensive approach, readers are introduced to a broader and more inclusive definition of architectural ideas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBuilding Theories also examines how contemporary scholarship has tended to overlook the centrality of building in its pursuit of knowledge. It argues for a realignment of architecture with the concept of techné, which encompasses both the art of fabrication and the science of rationality. The book advocates for a dual commitment to fabrica e ratio, which emphasizes the productive integration of design and construction. It also calls for a return to the art of bien bastir, which emphasizes the accurate translation of the term Baukunst. Furthermore, Building Theories appeals to the architects' composite mind, urging them to think beyond the boundaries of individual disciplines and embrace a holistic approach to architectural practice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is a valuable resource for students, practitioners, and educators alike. It offers ways of thinking that strive for the integration of design with construction, reject the notion that design should be prioritized over construction, recognize the limitations of aesthetics in subtending the subject of architectural e, and encourage architects to embrace a multidisciplinary approach to their work. By delving into the profound relationship between words and architecture, Building Theories provides a fresh perspective on the art and science of building, offering insights that will inspire and inform future generations of architects and builders.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                                        \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781138859036                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FrancaTrubiano","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103928119546,"sku":"9781138859036","price":133.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/bd40e4851ecf6b04323175cccf9aa855.jpg?v=1620692374"},{"product_id":"le-corbusiers-practical-aesthetic-of-the-city-the-treatise-la-construction-des-villes-of-1910-11","title":"Le Corbusier's Practical Aesthetic of the City: The treatise 'La Construction des villes' of 1910\/11","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 528 pages\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 19 October 2020\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e\n                          \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n                          \u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1148g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 246 x 174 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781472445643\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Christoph Schnoor","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44103734460666,"sku":"9781472445643","price":147.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/a8b1a6109fa1f3d362aabcecf91ae266.jpg?v=1620692510"},{"product_id":"le-corbusier-in-the-antipodes-art-architecture-and-urbanism","title":"Le Corbusier in the Antipodes: Art, Architecture and Urbanism","description":"\u003cp\u003e\n                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 152 pages\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 31 December 2020\u003cbr\u003e\n                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\n                          \u003c\/p\u003e\n                          \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n                          \u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 454g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781472464835\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antony Moulis","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44104630042874,"sku":"9781472464835","price":147.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/346afcd5603a504df08c890ca6b7e94c.jpg?v=1620692522"},{"product_id":"zaha-hadid","title":"Zaha Hadid","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eZaha Hadid was a revolutionary architect who gained recognition for her bold and futuristic designs that were deemed unbuildable.

Many critics deemed her audacious, futuristic designs unbuildable. However, in the later years of her life, Hadid's daring visions materialized, introducing a unique architectural language to cities and structures worldwide. Her notable works include the Rosenthal Center for Contemporary Art in Cincinnati, hailed as \"the most important new building in America since the Cold War\" by The New York Times; the MAXXI Museum in Rome; the Guangzhou Opera House in China; and the London 2012 Olympics Aquatics Centre. At the time of her untimely death in 2016, Hadid had firmly established herself among the elite of world architecture. She was recognized as the first woman to win both the Pritzker Prize for architecture and the RIBA Royal Gold Medal, but above all, as a giver of new forms, the first great architect of the noughties. This essential introduction showcases key examples of Hadid's pioneering practice, from her early sharply angled buildings to her later more fluid architecture that integrated floors, ceilings, walls, and furniture into holistic designs.

Hailing from Istanbul, Guevrekian's journey took him to Tehran and eventually to Vienna, where he pursued his passion for architecture at the Kunstgewerbeschule. His career blossomed as he collaborated with renowned architects such as Oskar Strnad, Josef Hoffmann, Adolf Loos, Henri Sauvage, and Robert Mallet-Stevens, resulting in iconic designs such as the Cubist garden for Villa Noailles in France and two houses for the Vienna Werkbund exhibition. At the young age of not yet 30, Guevrekian was already recognized as a key player in the European Avant-garde in Paris. Over the course of the 1930s, he ventured to Iran to contribute to the design of public buildings, a journey that would later influence his teaching responsibilities in Europe and America. Guevrekian's diverse experiences and multiple homes in Asia, Europe, and then America led to a fascinating phenomenon—a serial adoption of personae. Through his profound engagement with various disciplines, cities, and historical periods, he imbued them with meaning, making them central to his artistic vision. His impact extended far beyond the realm of architecture, as he sought to make every aspect of life meaningful and epochal. Gabriel Guevrekian's legacy continues to inspire and influence architects and artists worldwide, reminding us of the power of artistic engagement and the ability to shape the world around us.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1950g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 241 x 299 x 40 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9783775744331                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44105225109754,"sku":"9783775744331","price":34.27,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/e6c0fbb33727284454cbb1abb7788979.jpg?v=1620912144"},{"product_id":"architecture-of-peter-rich-conversations-with-africa","title":"Architecture of Peter Rich: Conversations with Africa","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003ePeter Richs career is a lifelong attempt to find a contemporary, yet uniquely African mode of design.

His career spans decades, and this book offers a comprehensive account of his work.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRich's fascination with African indigenous settlements began early on, and he dedicated himself to documenting and studying these communities. His documentation included detailed drawings, photographs, and recordings, which he used to publish and exhibit his findings. One of his most significant contributions was his documentation and promotion of Ndebele art and architecture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNdebele art is a vibrant and intricate style that originated in southern Africa. It is characterized by its use of geometric patterns, bright colors, and intricate sculptures. Rich's work in this field included publishing books, organizing exhibitions, and collaborating with local artists to preserve and promote Ndebele art.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to his work on Ndebele art, Rich also explored other aspects of African design. He was particularly interested in the concept of \"African Space Making\" and its forms of complex symmetry. He believed that African design should reflect the unique spatial and cultural aspects of the continent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne of Rich's most notable collaborative projects was Mandela's Yard in Alexandra township. Mandela's Yard was a community-oriented design that aimed to create a sustainable and inclusive space for the residents of Alexandra. Rich worked closely with the community to develop a design that incorporated traditional African elements and modernist principles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe design featured a series of interconnected buildings that were constructed from locally sourced materials. The buildings were designed to be energy-efficient and to promote sustainable living practices. Rich also incorporated traditional African architectural elements, such as the use of mud bricks and thatched roofs, to create a sense of continuity with the surrounding environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnother significant aspect of Rich's work is his use of low-tech hand-pressed soil tiles. These tiles are derived from his highly innovative and award-winning work at Mapungubwe. Mapungubwe is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that is located in South Africa and is known for its ancient ruins.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRich's work at Mapungubwe involved the use of traditional African construction techniques and materials to create a modernist architectural masterpiece. He used hand-pressed soil tiles to create timbrel vaulted structures that were both visually stunning and environmentally sustainable. The tiles are made from locally sourced soil and are pressed by hand using traditional techniques.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn conclusion, Peter Rich's career represents a lifelong attempt to find a contemporary, yet uniquely African mode of design. His work in Ndebele art, African Space Making, collaborative community-oriented designs, and his innovative use of low-tech hand-pressed soil tiles have all contributed to his reputation as a leading architect and designer.

This era saw a remarkable transformation in the design of corporate headquarters, moving from the ornate Beaux-Arts facades of the past to bold and modernist expressions. This book delves into the intricate relationship between clients and architects, exploring how they collaborated to create buildings that not only served as functional workplaces but also reflected the unique brand and identity of each company. By examining four iconic American corporate headquarters, including the PSFS Building by George Howe and William Lescaze, the Johnson Wax Administration Building by Frank Lloyd Wright, Lever House by Skidmore, Owings \u0026amp; Merrill, and The Roehm \u0026amp; Haas Building by Pietro Belluschi, the book showcases the evolution of corporate modernism. In the 1930s, architecture and branding were considered separate entities, but by the 1960s, they had seamlessly integrated into a single concept. Through interviews and original material from corporate archives, the book sheds light on how company leaders and architects conceived of their corporate headquarters as architectural mediums to communicate their corporate identities and brands. It explores how these buildings became symbols of power, innovation, and corporate success, shaping the architectural landscape of the United States and beyond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1136g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 197 x 257 x 26 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781848224070                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grace Ong Yan","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44099425534202,"sku":"9781848224070","price":45.82,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/f1b3e5589257427bea8eee97b2f61300.jpg?v=1620913873"},{"product_id":"inspired-by-place","title":"Inspired By Place","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eCLB Architects is a firm that specializes in creating timeless, thoughtful, distinct, and beautiful designs in some of the world's most iconic landscapes.
