Synopsis
This book brings together and discusses the work of some of the most influential and intriguing figures in the history of architecture., The Founding Myths of Architecture brings together and discusses the work of some of the most influential and intriguing figures in the history of architecture. By returning to the authentic roots from which modern architectural thought has sprung, it explores the significance of the discipline in relation to the evolution of mankind. The contributors, international leading theorists from a variety of disciplines, provide fascinating texts that contribute to the broad discussion on architecture and its relationship with science, nature, art and society. Kari Jormakka, Fabio Barry, Pedro Azara, Caspar Pearson and Henry Dietrich Fern ndez are just some of the respected scholars whose writings comprise this authoritative look at the origins of architectural practice and its importance to the development of modern society. By exploring architecture as a basic human instinct, linking contemporary architecture to ideas surrounding mythology and cosmos and assessing the importance of architecture from an anthropological viewpoint, The Founding Myths of Architecture is a refreshing take on architectural theory. The oeuvre of Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Louis Kahn, Francesco Borromini, Andr Le Notre, Giorgio Grognet and Marcus Vitruvius Pollio amongst others is visually referenced in the context of these topics. Published in both French and English editions, this collection of essays pushes the boundaries of architectural criticism by encompassing history and anthropology in its analysis of design theory and by moving away from a purely rational and functional understanding of architecture., Three things that made Artifice Press acquire this book: 1. This book is a creation of AP Valletta, an architecture firm based in Malta, Europe 2. Instead of being a monograph on the work of the practice, the book discusses the history of architecture, citing a varied array of influential figures such as Frank Lloyd Wright and Le Corbusier 3. This book is also available in French, with a separate ISBN (see catalogue) We approached AP Valletta to collaborate with Artifice Press as we were impressed with their work AP Valletta is based in Malta, Europe, but due to the wide range of references in the book, it will appeal to readers all over the world, The Founding Myths of Architecture brings together and discusses the work of some of the most influential and intriguing figures in the history of architecture.

- a***h (213)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseExcellent eBay experience. The product was packaged safely and arrived quickly. Item was as described, good price, and received solid communication. Good seller.
- 8***5 (19)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI didn't see a verbal description of this book as "hardcover" or paperback. Cover design and price were similar to both cover styles. I thought I'd left a question for the seller, but I may have done something wrong. The package was too small to match the hardcovers previously received so I returned it unopened. Seller was very efficient, and packaging offered excellent protection. Haven't checked to see if refund was processed.Pogo 3 : Evidence to the Contrary: The Complete Syndicated Comic Strips, Hard... (#354953679255)
