Abstract

Perspectives on the cornice in architecture from early modern to contemporary times. Since the rise of avant-garde modernism, the cornice has kept a low profile. Dismissed by Le Corbusier but celebrated by Erich Mendelsohn in the form of architectural rally stripes, the cornice was finally rehabilitated in the age of postmodernism. In contemporary architecture it leads a secret life between shadow gap and gutter, often reduced to the practical aspect of keeping water off the façade. Historically, however, the cornice was the crowning element of architecture. Drawn, measured, and theorized over centuries, the cornice established meaningful architectural order beyond the classical era. Much more than just a decorative element, the cornice played a crucial role in mediating between an individual and space.

Abstract

"The Art of City Sketching: A Field Manual guides readers through the process of free-hand architectural sketching and explains orthographic, diagrammatic, three-dimensional, and perceptual-type drawings. The book presents hundreds of drawings of historic buildings and urban spaces, examples, and exercises, which help readers develop their drawing skills and employ sketching as an analytical tool. The book is divided into three parts, based on reader's skill level: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. As an architect and field sketching instructor, the author shows that through drawing the reader can discover, analyze, and comprehend the built environment. The new edition of The Art of City Sketching expands on the drawing techniques of the previous version by adding new drawing examples, exercises, and two new chapters-- Chiaroscuro and Storyboard. New drawing tips, demonstrations, and composition "do's and don'ts" would support readers when they illustrate their viewpoint of the city by using simple drawing tools. The lessons in this book would allow those with beginners, intermediate, and advanced skills to mix method with imagination and sensibility" [Publisher]

Abstract

Plongez profondément dans les origines de la construction. Le sol, souvent utilisé aujourd'hui comme fondation passive pour aller plus haut, regorge de possibilités. Bjarne Mastenbroek étudie la relation que l'architecture a, a eu et aura avec son environnement et la nature. À travers les photographies d'Iwan Baan et plus de 500 dessins analytiques signés par SeARCH, Dig it! dissèque des constructions de millénaires passés – certaines célèbres, d'autres jusqu'alors ignorées. Cette étude de près de 1.400 pages conçues par Mevis & Van Deursen replace l'architecture en harmonie avec la surface de la Terre.
