While staying on theoretical ground, this is a very practical guide to the basic forms and shapes in architectural planning and design. The book is foremost a visual guide. The author presents sixty different basic architectural forms with both a schematic illustration and images of the forms applied in buildings.

Lightness and transparency in contemporary Japanese architecture explored and explained by Kengo Kuma Laboratory. In Japanese art and textile printing, the use of patterns has a long tradition. In Japanese architecture, layering is an established technique that has already inspired the likes of Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe. Now, the laboratory of world famous architect Kengo Kuma has developed a technically sophisticated methodology that unites patterns and layering in a single structural concept for the first time. Patterns and Layering presents innovative structures that are created by stacking fragile, patterned layers. Although each individual layer contains a variety of patterns, it nevertheless still completely fulfills its structural responsibilities. The results are strikingly delicate, yet remarkably stable. The book s detailed texts explain how layering and patterns function as spatial tools with which one can create extraordinary structures that are able to coexist in harmony with nature, people, and culture. Patterns and Layering not only explores historical contexts and developments, but also shows cutting-edge experiments that were realized under the supervision of Kengo Kuma and his colleague Yusuke Obuchi. According to Kuma, this book has the potential to begin a new architectural and design revolution. Editors Salvator-John A. Liotta and Matteo Belfiore, as well as other contributors, work closely with Kengo Kuma at his research laboratory at the University of Tokyo. Including design details such as silkscreen prints and calligraphy, Patterns and Layering embodies the Japanese understanding of space, nature, and architecture page for page, layer for layer.

Here, the author examines every principal of architecture, juxtaposing images that span centuries and cross cultural boundaries to create a design vocabulary that is both elemental and timeless. Among the topics covered are point, line, plane, volume, proportion, scale, circulation and the interdepence of form and space. While this revision continues to be a comprehensive primer on the ways form and space are interrelated and organized in the shaping of our enviroment, it has been refined to amplify and clarify concepts.
