An awareness of these underpinnings would facilitate a more informed approach to architectural design problems, as well as a deeper understanding of the central issues (and flaws) embodied by completed works of architecture. But the addressing of such topics has generally remained multifarious and diverse: more in the nature of a collection of independent issues than an overarching analytical argument. In this book, fresh looks at such issues are assembled and recast into a fully integrated narrative, based on two foundational and complementary aspects of architectural design: those that give shape and those that give focus - forming and centering UR - https://eresourcesptsl.ukm.remotexs.co/user/login?url=http://www.emeraldinsight.com/doi/book/10.1108/9781786358288 ER -
