With an emphasis on analysing and explaining the sensibility of poetics at work in designing and constructing architecture, this book features projects from architects around the world that demonstrate the principles of poetics come to life. The rich illustration of two hundred colour images, including analytical diagrams, plans, sections, and photos, make this insightful guide a highly visual foray into a topic that has thus far remained more theoretical than practical. The text is matter-of-fact and concrete, yet remains richly connected to its forbears and the writings of William Lethaby, Gaston Bachelard, and Steen Eiler Rasmussen. The perspective is contemporary in its examples and its connections to the evolving science of perception.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAn established seminar topic in theory classes around the world, poetics tends to rely heavily on classic philosophic texts — until now. \u003ci\u003ePractical Poetics in Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e brings theory down to earth to show architects how to invoke poetics when designing real projects.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegrate poetics principles into real-world designs\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsider atmosphere in terms of form, space, and acoustics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStudy actual projects that bring poetics into real spaces\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTake cues from analytical diagrams of projects accounting for context\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003ePoetics — the accumulated experience of place, space, and culture — has become more critical in recent years as the atmospheric and experiential qualities of built spaces have become more elusive in the virtual age. \u003ci\u003ePractical Poetics in Architecture\u003c\/i\u003e provides real guidance for real projects, and brings poetics out of the mind and onto the plans.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Wiley\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-06-02\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781118828892\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 221.0cm x170.2cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 248.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44315219918988,"sku":"9781118828892","price":36.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781118828892.jpg?v=1762826494","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781118828892","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
