Softcover. Condition: Good. 1. LECTURE NOTES TO ACCOMPANY THE FREE VIDEO COURSE ONLINE. This book has been selected as one of the P2P Foundation's "Top 10 Books of the Year" for 2011. The ideal supplement to all Architecture Studio and Theory courses -- at any level. Clear and concise presentation of ideas and tools helpful for design, and in understanding the design process itself. Twelve Lectures on Architecture is a profound philosophical work presented as a set of architectural lecture notes. It reads very easily, explaining why certain buildings and places speak to our hearts, thus illuminating many of our old assumptions about taste. Salingaros establishes, using biology, why traditional architecture is perceived intuitively by most people as more natural and life-affirming than modernist architecture. A deep malaise of contemporary society is tied to the shocking state of architecture and urbanism in our times, characterized by distorted buildings and unusable urban spaces. Salingaros is the archetypal deep thinker and punctures the pretenses of our most respected architecture critics. He is a charismatic teacher, and manages to explain seemingly inaccessible concepts such as fractals, scaling, the golden mean, cellular automata, genetic algorithms, and complexity in simple hand-drawn sketches. He has found a way to translate the complexities inherent in the design of our environment into imagery that even a general reader can understand. Twelve Lectures on Architecture includes an excellent introduction to Christopher Alexander's recent and remarkable work on how biology and architecture intersect in humankind's unconscious perceptions. This book has the importance to change the world because it goes into things that people should have thought about but haven't.What They're Saying."While Salingaros' exposition isn't a design manual with explicit answers, it does let you think of the problem with the right frame of mind. 'Ornament becomes substance' -- this made my jaw drop. The analogy with the binding energy of subatomic particles is fantastic. This is really great material."-- Federico Mena Quintero, Software Architect, Xalapa, Mexico"This book is intended for students, yet I think it should be read by everyone who is interested in or works with the built environment. Those who teach urban planning do it for their own ego, not for people who are supposed to live there. The result is an architectural object for imaginary people."-- Cristina Caramelo Gomes, Professor and Architect, Lisbon, Portugal "Aims not just at reviewing a mathematics set for architects, but at presenting one useful design tool, a full computational methodology, and a fundamental reason for new structural rules. The most interesting part of this work is that these rules produce new forms belonging to the great set of natural shapes, instinctive architecture, and classic masterpieces of all times. This offers great insight about architecture itself, and about the relationship between nature and culture."-- Stefano Serafini, Journal of Biourbanism.

Modernists, notably the Bauhäusler, aimed for the clean slate, jettisoning everything that went before. Yet, at times, they claimed links with antecedents to give a spurious historical ancestry to their aims and creations. These questionable links and precedents are now being claimed for the works of Deconstructivists by sympathetic architects and their supporters. The second edition of this book is the beginning of a long-overdue counterattack. Französisch.

Christopher Alexander and the new architecture (includes an interview with Christopher Alexander). 17. Ray Sawhill interviews Nikos Salingaros. References. Index. "In [this] series of learned and moving critical essays, Salingaros and various close associates argue that we understand life in architecture as the background to human community - the preparation for our dwelling place. One day, perhaps, Salingaros will be required reading for architects. If that happens it could just be that a new orthodoxy will emerge, in which humility, order, and public spirit - the virtues which have been chased from the discipline by the starchitects - will be the norm." - Roger Scruton. "What are the ideas and aims of the current architectural elite? And what might explain why these flawed ideas have such a powerful hold on so many people? This is a stunning and deep book, as interesting for its analyses of psychology and politics as it is for its discussion of architecture." - Ray Sawhill. "This book should be required reading in every institution concerned with the teaching of architecture, planning, and all other aspects of the built environment. It should also be read by every person claiming to be an architect." - James Stevens Curl. "I have just finished reading this long-awaited book. It's worth reading, even if you do not need convincing that Decon is a fraud. The revelation is the depth and extent of the fraud." - Andres Duany. "There are some serious thinkers today, such as Christopher Alexander and Nikos A. Salingaros, who believe we are due for - or at least need to have - a major paradigm shift in architecture, to save it. Unfortunately, architects on the whole are not very literate, so don't read theoretical books and critical articles by such thinkers. Mostly they look at pictures." - Paul H. Malo. "Nothing in recent years beats the latest from Nikos Salingaros, 'Anti-Architecture and Deconstruction . a remarkable book. Nikos writes architecture criticism of the highest order. His genius lies in his ability to build from the specific to the general, which is the opposite of the tendency of academic theorists of architecture. His commentary on Libeskind, on Tschumi, on Derrida, on Charles jencks is definitive" - Fraqncis Morrone.
