Summary

Design Studio Vol. 3: Designs on History explores the notion that every architectural design creates a new history. It emphasises the importance of understanding the present, past, and future to recognise novelty and innovation in design. The book presents history not only as words but also through drawings, materials, and landscapes, reflecting how designs physically embody stories. Renowned international contributors examine how historical insight drives creativity, showing how architects borrow from various disciplines and each other to craft narratives about history within their work. The volume covers diverse themes including memory, time, civilisation, and racial segregation, enriching contemporary architectural discourse.

Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?

This volume will appeal to professionals and students in architecture and design, as well as readers interested in arts and cultural history. It suits those seeking a deeper understanding of how history informs architectural creativity and innovation.

Each architectural design is a new history. To identify what is novel or innovative, we need to consider the present, past and future. We expect historical narratives to be written in words, but they can also be delineated in drawing, cast in concrete or seeded in soil.

Description

Each architectural design is a new history.

To identify what is novel or innovative, we need to consider the present, past and future.

We expect historical narratives to be written in words, but they can also be delineated in drawing, cast in concrete or seeded in soil.

The aim of this volume is to understand each design as a visible and physical history. Historical understanding is investigated as a stimulus to the creative process, highlighting how architects learn from each other and other disciplines. This encourages us to consider the stories about history that architects fabricate.

An eminent set of international contributors reflect on the relevance of historical insight for contemporary design, drawing on the rich visual output of innovative studios worldwide in practice and education.

Wide ranging and thought-provoking articles encompass fact, fiction, memory, time, etymology, civilisation, racial segregation and more.

Features: Elizabeth Dow, Pezo von Ellrichshausen, Terunobu Fujimori, Perry Kulper, Lesley Lokko, Yeoryia Manolopoulou, Niall McLaughlin, Aisling O’Carroll, Arinjoy Sen, Amin Taha and Sumayya Vally.

Design Studio Vol. 3: Designs on History invites readers to engage with architectural history through a creative and interdisciplinary lens.
