Archispeak: An Illustrated Guide to Architectural Terms

DOC Archispeak: An Illustrated Guide to Architectural Terms by Tom Porter in Arts-Photography

Description

Widely used in architectural circles in the heat of discussion; the recurrent use of particular words and terms has evolved into a language of design jargon. Commonly found in architectural literature and journalism; in critical design debate and especially in student project reviews; Archispeak can seem insular and perplexing to others and -- particularly to the new architectural student -- often incomprehensible.There is a need to translate architectural design concepts into spoken and written commentary -- each word in use embodying a precise and universally accepted architectural meaning. If we explore the vocabulary of this language we gain insight into good design practice and into collective understanding of what constitutes a refined architecture. This unique illustrated guide will help students understand the nuances of this specialized language and help them in communicating their own design ideas.
