Adrian Luchini (Contemporary World Architects)

By: Luchini, Adrian

Price: $12.50

Seller ID: 367131

ISBN: 1564965031

Binding: Trade Paperback

Condition: Used - Good

As a practitioner, Adrian Luchini is fundamentally interested in the ethereal; as an educator, in the way the practice of architecture influences the development of new theories. In this regard, his pursuit of architecture is by necessity expanded, general, imprecise, and all-encompassing.

The Arts & Crafts bungalow has been reborn, in as rich and full an array of iterations as it was in its heyday -- from tight clusters of similar inexpensive housing opportunities to the grand, and arguably borderline, bungalow scale of the "ultimate bungalows" of the 1910s. The New Bungalow is a celebration of contemporary interpretations of this classic house style -- an art form that symbolizes the best of the good life. It offers an alternative solution to the tract development filled with homes appliqued with various random trim details and contrived architectural components. It is a guide...

Price: $7.50

Publisher: Princeton Architectural Press: Nov-10

Binding: Trade Paperback

Condition: Used - Good

The ancient craft of architectural model making may seem unnecessary in today's age of digital renderings and virtual tours, but physical models remain a uniquely revealing and compelling tool for the architect. More forcefully than any other way of visualizing a building, models represent ideas, as opposed to images. The sensory impact of a physical model, its materiality, is an important step in the design process. Once an idea is materialized, it exists in the real world, and the real world reacts--with limitations or opportunities, which become clear through the process of making. Amodel n...

"Work ...
