The revered architectural reference, updated with contemporary examples and interactive 3D models The Interactive Resource Center is an online learning environment where instructors and students can access the tools they need to make efficient use of their time, while reinforcing and assessing their understanding of key concepts for successful understanding of the course. An access card with redemption code for the online Interactive Resource Center is included with all new, print copies or can be purchased separately. (***If you rent or purchase a used book with an access code, the access code may have been redeemed previously and you may have to purchase a new access code -ISBN: 9781118986837). The online Interactive Resource Center contains resources tied to the book, such as: * Interactive Animations highlighting key concepts * Photo Gallery of architectural precedents illustrated in the book * Flashcards for focused learning Architecture: Form, Space, and Order, Fourth Edition is the classic introduction to the basic vocabulary of architectural design, updated with new information on emerging trends and recent developments. This bestselling visual reference helps both students and professionals understand the vocabulary of architectural design by examining how space and form are ordered in the environment. Essential and timeless, the fundamental elements of space and form still present a challenge to those who crave a deeper understanding. Taking a critical look at the evolution of spaces, Architecture distills complex concepts of design into a clear focus that inspires, bringing difficult abstractions to life. The book is illustrated throughout to demonstrate the concepts presented, and show the relationships between fundamental elements of architecture through the ages and across cultures. Topics include: * Primary elements and the principles of space design * Form and space, including light, view, openings, and enclosures * Organization of space, and the elements and relationships of circulation * Proportion and scale, including proportioning systems and anthropometry

Das renommierte Referenzwerk der Architektur, aktualisiert und mit zeitgenossischen Beispielen und interaktiven 3D-Modellen. Bei allen neuen Print-Ausgaben ist eine Karte mit einem Gutscheincode fur den Zugriff auf das webbasierte Interactive Resource Center enthalten. Der Code kann auch separat erworben werden. Das Interactive Resource Center bietet eine erweiterte Bilddatenbank. Die Bilder verdeutlichen umfassend das Zusammenspiel zwischen Theorie und Praxis. Die Leser werden beim Lesen immer wieder aufgefordert, den Gebaudebestand in ihrem Umfeld kritisch zu betrachten, um so ein assoziatives Architekturverstandnis zu entwickeln. Durch die Forderung kritischen Denkens, die Vereinfachung zeitloser Designkonzepte und eindeutige visuelle Verweise ist "Architecture" heute das klassische Referenzwerk fur Studenten, Architekten und Innenarchitekten. Das Interactive Resource Center beinhaltet ebenfalls Animationen, interaktive Ubungen und weitere Lernressourcen zu dem Buch. Architecture: Form, Space and Order ? die 4. Auflage dieser klassischen Einfuhrung in die grundlegenden Begriffe des Architekturdesigns wurde um aktuelle Inhalte zu neuen Trends und jungsten Entwicklungen erweitert. Die neue 4. Auflage zeigt zeitgenossische Beispiele wegweisender Architektur und beinhaltet eine erweiterte CD, die die vorgestellten Architekturkonzepte durch interaktive dreidimensionale Modelle und sorgfaltige Hand-Renderings zum Leben erwecken. Dieser Beststeller bringt Studenten, Architekten und Innenarchitekten durch die Untersuchung, wie Raum und Form in der Umwelt angeordnet sind, die Begriffswelt des Architekturdesigns verstandlich naher.
