Process and Expression in Architectural Form (Bruce Alonzo Goff Series in Creative Architecture) - Softcover

 
9780806126456: Process and Expression in Architectural Form (Bruce Alonzo Goff Series in Creative Architecture)

Synopsis

Generously illustrated with concept development sketches as well as site plans, section drawings, full schematics, and photographs of finished buildings, this engaging volume focuses on "organic synthesis," the creative process that is architect Gunnar Birkerts's methodology and philosophy.

Birkerts likens his organic approach to listening to music: the music must be heard as it unfolds; an attempt to perceive it all at once would reduce it to noise. Organic synthesis occurs as all aspects of a project present themselves: the building site, the building program and budget, available materials and technologies, emotional or intuitive content revealed through architect-client interaction.
