All the original exercises have been revised and new ones added, with the format changing to allow the inclusion of more supplementary material. The aim remains the same: to help pre- or early-course architecture students begin and develop their ability to think as architects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLearning to do architecture is tricky. It involves awakening abilities that remain dormant in most people. It is like learning language for the first time; a task made more mystifying by the fact that architecture deals not in words but in places: places to stand, to walk, to sit, to hide, to sleep, to cook, to eat, to work, to play, to worship…\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book was written for those who want to be architects. It suggests a basis for early experiences in a school of architecture; but it could also be used in secondary schools and colleges, or as self-directed preparation for students in the months before entering professional education.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eExercises in Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e builds on and supplements the methodology for architectural analysis presented in the author’s previous book \u003ci\u003eAnalysing Architecture: the Universal Language of Place-Making\u003c\/i\u003e (fifth edition, 2021) and demonstrated in his \u003ci\u003eTwenty-Five Buildings Every Architect Should Understand\u003c\/i\u003e (Routledge, 2015). Together, the three books deal with the three aspects of learning any creative discipline: 1. \u003ci\u003eAnalysing Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e provides a methodology for analysis that develops an understanding of the way architecture works; 2. \u003ci\u003eTwenty-Five Buildings\u003c\/i\u003e explores and extends that methodology through analysis of examples as case studies; and 3. \u003ci\u003eExercises in Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e offers a way of expanding understanding and developing fluency by following a range of rudimentary and more sophisticated exercises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThose who wish to become professional architects (wherever in the world they might be) must make a conscious effort to learn the universal language of architecture as place-making, to explore its powers and how they might be used. The exercises in this book are designed to help.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47605660713196,"sku":"9781032265667","price":341.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781032265667-exercises-in-architecture.jpg?v=1778138496","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/exercises-in-architecture-by-simon-unwin-9781032265667","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
