By
Bryan Lawson, Dean of the Faculty of Architectural Studies, University of Sheffield, UK. Author of How Designers Think, Language of Space and What Designers Know.
Description
This unique guide provides a systematic overview of the idea of architectural space.
Bryan Lawson provides an ideal introduction to
the topic, breaking down the complex and abstract terms used by many design theoreticians when writing about architectural space. Instead,
our everyday knowledge is reintroduced to the language of design. Design values of 'space' are challenged and informed to stimulate a
new theoretical and practical approach to design.
This book views architectural and urban spaces as psychological, social and partly
cultural phenomena. They accommodate, separate, structure, facilitate, heighten and even celebrate human spatial behaviour.
Audience
Students of architecture. Architecture lecturers and professional architects.
Contents
Space as Language; Space and the Human Dimension; Mechanisms of Perceiving Space; Four Ways of Perceiving Space; Space and Distance; Proxemics; The Territory; Space and Time; Recording Space.
