Synopsis

This is an explanation of the nature and role of architecture by reference to the work of several important contemporary theorists. It establishes the importance of such key issues in design as the Genius Loci, or spirit of place, the existence of what can best be termed forces which effect design and the essential characteristics of form, including such issues as geometry, structure, axes, surface treatment and rhythm.
