This new title in Vivays Publishing's 10 Principles series provides clear explanations of each tenet along with useful illustrations to help the reader visualise what is being discussed. The author assumes no background on the subject, but an interest in learning more about what goes into making a building work.

The author assumes no background on the subject, but an interest in learning more about what goes into making a building work. An experienced writer on this subject, Ruth Slavid provides a useful and illuminating primer to the field that is accessible to students of architecture, architects or architectural historians or anyone interested in the principles behind the buildings that surround them. The rules of architecture have been discussed since the Roman architect and engineer Vitruvius coined the trilogy firmitas, utilitas and venustas, most commonly translated as being solid, useful and beautiful. Put simply, this means that a building should stand up and endure, that it should serve its function, and that it should give pleasure to its users and the wider community. Contents: Principle 1: Place; Principle 2: Structure; Principle 3: Function and Flexibility; Principle 4: Comfort; Principle 5: Sustainability; Principle 6: Legibility; Principle 7: Light; Principle 8: Sound; Principle 9: Surface; Principle 10: Details. Ruth Slavid is an author and freelance journalist specialising in architecture and construction. For many years, she worked at The Architect's Journal. She is the author of Wood Architecture, Extreme Architecture and Micro: Very Small Buildings.

Dostępność:dostępny Though her work has often been overshadowed by that of her peers such as Le Corbusier and Marcel Breuer, Irish designer, lacquer-artist, and architect Eileen Gray (1878-1976) is now widely recognized as a designer of great talent and individuality. She first excelled in the exacting craft of lacquer, creating screens, panels, furniture, and objects of technical virtuosity and poetic strength. Eileen Gray then developed an interest in architecture, designing two houses, "E-1027" (completed 1929) and "Tempe a Pailla" (completed 1934) in the south of France, which are seminal examples of the spirit of the Modern movement. This book analyses and illustrates the full range of her furniture, interiors, and completed architectural projects.

Die Villa steht für repräsentative Wohnkultur und gehobenen Lebensstil. Sie ist jedoch mehr als ein großzügiges Wohnhaus mit Grundstück in der Stadt: Die Villa bietet ihren Bewohnern einen "urbanen Landsitz", und vereint das Beste aus Stadt- und Landleben: Repräsentative Architektur und hochwertige Materialien, im Grünen gelegen und doch nah an den urbanen Attraktionen. Es lebt sich ruhig und zurückgezogen, aber dennoch in direkter Verbindung zur Stadt. Für Architekten bietet die Planung oder der Umbau einer Villa die spannende Herausforderung, eine klassische Bauaufgabe neu und zeitgemäß zu interpretieren.
Façades need to fulfill functional as well as aesthetical values: they have to provide an all-season protection against meteorological conditions, fit in its surrounding space but simultaneously present an own individuality and finally communicate the purpose of the building.
This book aims to demonstrate the variety of European façade design, ranging from frugal to pompously ornate. Presenting an ambitious array of façades, impressive photographs reveal the intriguing diversity of the European metropolis. They document the entire scope of surface design from ancient to brand new, from frugal to pompously ornate, from functional to playful.
The volume is part of a series, which is focused not on prominent buildings at large but on ingenious and extraordinary details.
The design of urban public space is fundamentally based on formulating the best possible way to accommodate people and finding the optimal configuration that offers leisure areas, an oasis for contemplation or an ideal meeting spot. In the last few years, this design area has undergone some rather impressive development. An appreciable increase has been seen in both the degree of sophistication and the variety of resources used by architects and landscape artists when drafting their designs for the outdoor common spaces being built today.
