9780367699444: Understanding Architecture: Its Elements, History, and Meaning

Synopsis

The widely acclaimed and beautifully illustrated Understanding Architecture is now revised and expanded in its fourth edition, vividly examining the structure, function, history, and meaning of architecture, from prehistory to the present, in ways that are both accessible and engaging.

Significant features of the fourth edition include:

  • Expanded global essays outlining the encounters and interchanges, conflicts and accommodations, between disparate global communities
  • A brand-new final chapter addressing the twenty-first century during which Western and global architectural developments have increasingly become one broad, interwoven expression. This chapter includes sections on CAD, Contemporary Architecture of the Twenty-First Century, Starchitects, Contemporary Architectural Prizes, Architecture and Energy Consumption, and Architecture Integrated with Nature
  • New sections on Frank Lloyd Wright and Late Twentieth-Century Expressionism
  • Thoroughly revised and expanded illustration, including over 700 images, over half of which are in full color, and 120 original line art drawings

Understanding Architecture continues to be the only text in the field to examine architecture as a cultural phenomenon as well as an artistic and technological achievement with its straightforward, two-part structure: The Elements of Architecture and the History and Meaning of Architecture. Comprehensive and clearly written, Understanding Architecture is both a primer for visual environmental literacy and a classic survey of architecture. This is an essential book for anyone interested in our built environment and the layered historical meaning embodied within it.
