Product Description
The aim of this book is to explore how freehand drawing can increase the level of understanding of the complexities of modern architecture. In particular it seeks to provide the means whereby there can be a marriage of art and architecture by establishing shared values and understandings. The sketchbook is a useful tool to help counter the dominance of science in architectural education, or at least to ensure that technology is employed with judgement and aesthetic discrimination. The aim is to encourage the creation of a more humane environment by developing visual and artistic sensibilities through the practice of drawing. A number of themes are presented, each as a case study of issues facing students or practising architects. Since the first edition of this book was published in 1994, fresh concerns have emerged and these form the basis of much of the new material presented in this edition.
There is also greater discussion of the role of sketching vis-à-vis other design development tools such as modelmaking, computer-aided design (CAD) and photography. As a result there are a number of more theoretical chapters than in the first edition, as well as interviews with a number of the UK’s leading architects such as Lord Foster, Sir Nicholas Grimshaw, Will Alsop and Edward Cullinan.
The central aim of the book is to encourage the use of the sketchbook as a vehicle for learning about architecture. There is currently a revival of interest in the pedagogic role of drawing, particularly its place in the generation of architectural forms. This book looks forward to design practice by examining past examples using freehand drawing as the main analytical tool. The book is arranged thematically into four parts: the first part presents guiding principles, the second introduces the student to the main graphic tools and drawing techniques used by the architect; the third part explains how common design issues can be better understood through drawing with a number of case studies of sketching practice; the final part focuses upon examples from contemporary architectural practice with the emphasis upon current trends in drawing technique.
