Trade Paperback. Condition: Used - Like New. Can architecture directly engage with the inner experience of people? Does it have universal or spiritual content? Poetics in Architecture attempts to address these questions by looking at the essence of meaning of architecture and considering the human response to buildings. Schaik's… concern is that by focusing on technical refinements and new procedural models architects are in danger of alienating the collective human connections we make with buildings. This title brings together the views of a fascinating and diverse group of architects and theoreticians from all over the world including Bolles-Wilson, Boyarsky Wilson, Winka Dubbledam, Sean Godsell, Mark Goulthorpe of dECOI and Tom Kovac. BEAUTIFUL COPY!!.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Design Practice Research at RMIT University is a longstanding program of research into what venturous designers actually do when they design. It is the most enduring and sustained body of research of its kind: empirical, evidence-based and surfacing evidence about design practice. This first… Pink Book documents some of its past achievements. It is a growing force in the world, with a burgeoning program of research in Asia, Oceania and Europe. This book documents some of its past achievements. Two kinds of knowledge are created by the research. One concerns the ways in which designers marshal their intelligence, especially their spatial intelligence, to construct the mental space within which they practice design. The other reveals how public behaviours are invented and used to support design practice. This new knowledge combined is the contribution that this research makes to the field of design practice research.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. How do designers in research-driven practices differentiate themselves from each other and form distinctive platforms for future practice? The research presented in this second edition and carried out in Australia as part of an Australian Research Council Discovery Program is of significance… for design practice, review, and our deeper understanding of the design of space and spaces. In continuing the exploration of spatial intelligence," this research further develops our understanding of designers, how they work and what they draw on through their lives that shapes their spatial thinking, and their practice. The research also provides broader insights into a more public understanding and acknowledgement of our collective spatial intelligence. It shows how this could be developed and enhanced to provide more spatial and design literacy in our communities, and how these can engage with their changing environments. Contributors: Benedict Anderson, Suzie Attiwill, Nigel Bertram, Richard Black, Stephen Collier, Graham Crist, Lucas Devriendt, Harold Fallon, Arnaud Hendrickx, Tom Holbrook, CJ Lim, Paul Minifie, Vivian Mitsogianni, Stephen Neille, Deborah Saunt, Jon Tarry, Jo Van Den Berghe, Gretchen Wilkins "How do designers in research-driven practices differentiate themselves from each other and form distinctive platforms for future practice."--Cover.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Every successful enterprise should have a historian at work on its anecdotesBuilding a culture is like building a memory, and you need to be sure that the anecdotes you entertain are good ones, ethical ones. Leon van SchaikWhat makes a good school great? A good community of practice great? F…or close to half-a-century, architect and educator Leon van Schaik has prosecuted an answer to these questions. It is a venture that would lead him from the Architectural Association in London, to the townships of apartheid South Africa, and finally to Australia and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT), where he initiated its now globally-renowned practice-based architecture research program.In Building a Culture, van Schaik traces the origin and development of design practice research at RMIT and his own journey into architecture and its teaching. From his early university studies under artist Richard Hamilton, to his experiences with Alvin Boyarsky at the Architectural Association, and his work alongside Cyril Ramaphosa at the Urban Foundation in South Africa, van Schaik imparts learnings garnered from a lifetime spent studying and cultivating successful creative ecologies.Through anecdotes and a consideration of archival material, the author draws a `loose-fit roadmap to implementing cultural change in educational organisations, detailing most especially the challenges he encountered developing RMITs unique pedagogical culture and its innovative practice-based research program.Based on a 2018 lecture van Schaik gave at RMIT on the occasion of his appointment to Emeritus Professor, Building a Culture is an insiders account of how organisational transformation was effected within this renowned architectural school. It is also a lively and at times humorous personal reflection on the people, ideas and experiences that have shaped the thinking of one of Australias most influential educators. In Building a Culture, Leon van Schaik traces the origin and development of design practice research at RMIT and his own journey into architecture and its teaching.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. For architect and educator Leon van Schaik, the way we understand our world is not an abstract consideration, but deeply rooted in physical experience. Our family houses and places of work, the gardens we have played and rested in, the landscapes we have travelled through and those we have c…ome to call home-all of these inflect what van Schaik describes as our spatial intelligence. For better or worse, this understanding informs our interpretation of the world, and any attempts we might make to reshape it.In Doing, Seeing; Seeing, Doing, van Schaik unearths the lineage of landscape and garden ideas that have influenced his thinking over many decades spent practicing and teaching architecture. Partly auto-biographical, partly essayistic, the book unfolds as a series of journeys with friends and colleagues through their shared histories in architecture, landscape and gardening.From Persian paradise gardens to the mosaic burning that maintained pre-colonial Australia's 'parkland' landscape, the nested arches of Edwin Lutyens to Renaissance axiality, Doing, Seeing; Seeing, Doing explores how every line drawn in our world brings a system along with it. It also demonstrates why an awareness of our own spatial histories is crucial if we are to avoid visiting those systems onto others, unexamined. In Doing, Seeing; Seeing, Doing, van Schaik unearths the lineage of landscape and garden ideas that have influenced his thinking over many decades spent practicing and teaching architecture.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Leon van Schaik AO, Professor of Architecture at RMIT University for 30 years and mentor to countless Australian architects, lays down his highly influential creative philosophies in his latest book, Architecture in its Continuums. The text represents a distillation of a lifetime of thinking… about architecture and the ways in which it is practiced, researched and taught.The book remediates a gap that van Schaik sees in current architecture writing. There are, he says, `very few books on architecture that, I believe, concern the practice of architecture itself, as distinct from the large body of writing about the history, sociology and environmental science of architecture. Van Schaik contends that we all share a common experience of space and light. Therefore, the architects skill in the crafting of space and light has the potential to intimately connect architecture with humanity. Here he presents 21 hand-drawn ideograms that illustrate and enrich his writing.In her introduction, Kate Heron, Professor of Architecture at University of Westminster, writes, `he evokes spatial experiences and memories to act as signposts, repeatedly questioning his own thinking as he hones his position. The reader is drawn into his world.This interweaving of philosophy and experience offers new ways of thinking about architecture learning.As Professor Vivian Mitsogianni, Associate Dean of Architecture and Urban Design, RMIT writes, `Leons analysis of what venturous and innovative designers actually do has provided useful material and frameworks that allow us to argue more broadly for the increased participation of design practitioners within design education.Leon van Schaik is a Professor of Architecture at RMIT and Innovation Professor and Innovation Chair of Design Practice Research. He studied at Architectural Association in London before commencing his position at RMIT in 1987.
