Synopsis
This introduction to the principles of form, space and order interprets form by discussing point, line, plane, volume, proportion, scale, circulation and the interdependence of form and space. It analyzes architectural models drawn from around the world, and illustrates each concept. This edition enlarges the discussion of formal execution by extending it to more interior and site examples. New topics discussed include: urban design, industrial design; parks and multiuse developments; ergonomic design; controversial examples of form; and Beaux-Arts theory and examples.
