Product Description

Review

"His classic introduction to the basic elements of architecture has served as a reference for both students and practicing architects for 30–plus years. Illustrated throughout with b&w diagrams and renderings, the third edition includes expanded sections on circulation, light, views, and site context; new material on environmental factors and building codes; and contemporary examples of form, space, and order." (Book News, February 2008)


Product Description

A superb visual reference to the principles of architecture

Now including interactive CD–ROM!

For more than thirty years, the beautifully illustrated Architecture: Form, Space, and Order has been the classic introduction to the basic vocabulary of architectural design. The updated Third Edition features expanded sections on circulation, light, views, and site context, along with new considerations of environmental factors, building codes, and contemporary examples of form, space, and order.

This classic visual reference helps both students and practicing architects understand the basic vocabulary of architectural design by examining how form and space are ordered in the built environment.? Using his trademark meticulous drawing, Professor Ching shows the relationship between fundamental elements of architecture through the ages and across cultural boundaries. By looking at these seminal ideas, Architecture: Form, Space, and Order encourages the reader to look critically at the built environment and promotes a more evocative understanding of architecture.

In addition to updates to content and many of the illustrations, this new edition includes a companion CD–ROM that brings the book′s architectural concepts to life through three–dimensional models and animations created by Professor Ching.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good architectural designers handbook, 17 April 1998
By A Customer
Ching presents a lot of principles of design for the architect to add theoretical bases for designs. If you design, this book gives you the vocabulary you need to communicate it verbally, as well as graphically.

5.0 out of 5 stars If you only have one book on Architecture, this must be it., 1 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This book lays the best foundation for architectural study and design of any book ever published. It should be required reading at every university and would make a great primer for high school students with enlightened teachers.
