Product Description

Synopsis

This is a collection of diverse writings from staff and research students of The Manchester School of Architecture. Within it the reader will be able to detect many of the common themes interesting architects today. For example, sustainability, cultural associations, representation and urban issues are all there in more than one of the papers. There are, however, writings that address other interests; some personal; some even esoteric and some are offered not as an end result of investigation but as part of the process of discovery. Together they form only a small part of the gamut of ongoing discussions within Architecture, but a part nevertheless that the reader should find interesting.

4.0 out of 5 stars A snapshot of the varied investigations, 11 Feb 2001
By A Customer
A snapshot of the varied investigations currently underway at the Manchester School of Architecture. The papers underline the diversity in architectural research at the start of the millennium, ranging from super-contemporary explorations into experiencial form-generation to the depths of Islamic cultural influence. As with any 'varoius artists' edition, some papers are particularly enigmatic. Green's 'Locomotive Flow' and Mainwaring/Elliot's 'TooSyntax' offer intriguing intellectually stimulating investigations that demand further contemplation on the part of the reader. More practical texts like Crompton's 'Lifelike Tessellations', Mc Kennan's 'The Gaze',and Ellis's 'Hidden Rivers'offer insight into strands of the school's research whilst providing interesting descriptions of practical applications.

As the first part of a series, the Manchester Architecture Papers is an unpretentious collection which promises to continue to reward Manchester architects and students (especially prospective research students) with an insight into the emerging ideas in 2000.
