The aim remains the same,\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eto help pre- or early-course architecture students begin and develop their ability\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eto think as architects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLearning to do architecture is tricky. It involves awakening abilities that remain dormant in most people. It is like learning language for the first time; a task made more mystifying by the fact that architecture deals not in words but in places: places to stand, to walk, to sit, to hide, to sleep, to cook, to eat, to work, to play, to worship…\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was written for those who want to be architects. It suggests a basis for early experiences in a school of architecture; but it could also be used in secondary schools and colleges, or as self-directed preparation for students in the months before entering professional education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eExercises in Architecture builds on and supplements the methodology for architectural analysis presented in the author’s previous book \u003ci\u003eAnalysing\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eArchitecture: the Universal Language of Place-Making \u003c\/i\u003e(fifth edition, 2021) and demonstrated in his \u003ci\u003eTwenty-Five Buildings Every Architect Should Understand\u003c\/i\u003e (Routledge, 2015). Together, the three books, deal with the three aspects of learning any creative discipline: 1. \u003ci\u003eAnalysing Architecture \u003c\/i\u003eprovides a methodology for analysis that develops an understanding of the way architecture works; 2. \u003ci\u003eTwenty-Five Buildings \u003c\/i\u003eexplores and extends that methodology through analysis of examples as case studies; and 3. \u003ci\u003eExercises in Architecture \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a way of expanding understanding and developing fluency by following a range of rudimentary and more sophisticated exercises.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThose who wish to become professional architects (wherever in the world they might be) must make a conscious effort to learn the universal language of architecture as place-making, to explore its powers and how they might be used. The exercises in this book are designed to help.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57312703807870,"sku":"NW9781032265650","price":37.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781032265650.jpg?v=1778589265","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/exercises-in-architecture","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
