What does it all mean?
The unique language used in architectural theory – both in speech and writing – can appear daunting and confusing, particularly to new architectural students.
Decoding Theoryspeak provides an accessible guide to the specialized language of contemporary design for the next generation of thinkers, architects and design leaders. It includes:
- definitions of over 200 terms
- clear cross-references
- illustrations throughout.
It is an essential pocket-sized resource for students and practitioners alike.
