Trade Paperback. Condition: Used - Very Good. According to N. J. Habraken, intimate and unceasing interaction betweenpeople and the forms they inhabit uniquely defines built environment. The Structureof the Ordinary, the culmination of decades of environmental observation and designresearch, is a recognition and analysis of everyday environment as the wellspring ofurban design and formal architecture. The authors central argument is that builtenvironment is universally organized by the Orders of Form, Place, andUnderstanding. These three fundamental, interwoven principles correspond roughly tophysical, biological, and social domains.Historically, 'ordinary' environment wasthe background against which architects built the 'extraordinary.' Drawing uponextensive examples from archaeological and contemporary sites worldwide, the authorillustrates profound recent shifts in the structure of everyday environment. Oneeffect of these transformations, Habraken argues, has been the loss of implicitcommon understanding that previously enabled architects to formally enhance andinnovate while still maintaining environmental coherence. Consequently, architectsmust now undertake a study of the ordinary as the fertile common ground in whichform- and place-making are rooted. In focusing on built environment as an autonomousentity distinct from the societies and natural environments that jointly create it, this book lays the foundation for a new dialogue on methodology and pedagogy, insupport of a more informed approach to professional intervention. The author's central argument is that built environment is universally organized by the Orders of Form, Place, and Understanding. These three fundamental, interwoven principles correspond roughly to physical, biological, and social domains. Very nice clean, tight copy free of any marks.
