Architectural Structure and Design

Interpreting Site explains the basic methods you can use to translate what you perceive to represent the complex conditions that physically and mentally "construe" a site, helping you to shape your final design. Includes four full colour illustrated case studies of key contemporary projects in Spain, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Norway.

The Routledge Companion for Architecture Design and Practice provides an overview of established and emerging trends in architecture practice.

In Play in Creative Problem-solving for Planners and Architects, "play" is defined, explored and demonstrated as a critical catalyst in creative problem-solving processes.

A companion text to How Designers Think, this book provides a completely new structure and content to act as an accompaniment for students studying a design-based course

Fully illustrated, this critical appraisal of structures and the role of engineers is a core-curriculum text built on a thorough grounding of the practicalities of structural design. Useful for students and practitioners alike, this new edition contains new material.

Aimed specifically at beginning design students, learning objectives include: computational thinking and making, introduction to design as an iterative, reflective, and rigorous process, ideas of continuity and discontinuity, and understanding the bias and constraints of digital and analog tooling.

Adaptive Sensory Environments presents a cutting-edge methodology for adaptive sensory design by fostering an inter-disciplinary methodology in which aspects of neuroscience, biophilia, captology, nanotechnology, kinetics, and sensemaking all play critical roles in helping adaptive architecture "tune" to occupants.

In this second edition of Material Strategies in Digital Fabrication are new case studies, improved wayfinding, the inclusion of composites and plastics, and references to similar strategies between different projects.

Digital Design Exercises for Architecture Students teaches you the basics of digital design and fabrication tools with creative design exercises, featuring over 200 illustrations, which emphasize process and evaluation.

Written expressly for students, the book makes structures understandable and useful, providing: practical and useful knowledge about structures, a design based approach to the subject of structures and a bridge in the gap between structures and the theory of design.
