A remarkable book of great value...a great introduction to questions in theory, history, environment/behaviour studies and cultural approaches to architecture. -- David G. Saile, University of Cincinnati
Inspiring! -- Anthea McCullough, Colchester Institute
Synopsis
Understanding Architecture is a comprehensive introduction to architecture and architectural history and exceptional in its approach. The book explores architecture as a current practice in relation to its history, and in relation to the wider context of cultures, conservation and planning. Issues of urbanism, feminism and ethnicity are introduced which are at the forefront of current debates on architecture. The aim is to help people make sense of the experience of architecture and the built environment by understanding more about the form, construction, meaning and history of the subject. Lavishly illustrated, the book will be of interest to all who are concerned with architecture, architectural history, urban design, planning, conservation, interior design and heritage.
