Architecture is a verb / Sarah Robinson.
By: Robinson, Sarah (Architect) [author.].
Publisher: New York : Routledge, ©2021Description: 258 p.Content type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9780367610371; 9780367610364.Subject(s): Architecture -- Human factorsGenre/Form: Print books.Summary: "Architecture is a Verb outlines an approach that shifts the fundamental premises of architectural design and practice in several important ways. First, it acknowledges the centrality of the human organism as an active participant interdependent in its environment. Second, it understands human action in terms of radical embodiment-grounding the range of human activities traditionally attributed to mind and cognition: imagining, thinking, remembering-in the body. Third, it asks what a building does-that is, extends the performative functional interpretation of design to interrogate how buildings move and in turn move us, how they shape thought and action. Finally, it is committed to articulating concrete situations by developing a taxonomy of human/building interactions. Written in engaging prose for students of architecture, interiors and urban design, as well as practising professionals, Sarah Robinson offers richly illustrated practical examples for a new generation of designers"--| Current location | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
