Archetypes in Architecture
The author, Thomas Thiis-Evensen, Dr. philos, is a
practicising architect and Associate Professor at the Oslo School of
Architecture.
This book explores basic elements in the art of building -- namely : the FLOOR
the WALL
and the ROOF
Centered around examples from
arhitectural history, specific archetypes are discussed which serve as
theme over which these elements vary.
The aim of this book is design-oriented. With a more accurate knowledge
of the archetypes and their variations, schematic post-war architecture
can be replaced without necessarily resorting to copying motif from the
past.
In addition, one should be able to arrive at a more solid foundation for the emotional aspects of architecture.
Shows how the archetypes of architecture affect us psychologically--different kinds of floors, roofs, walls, colors, etc. A design grammar for architects.
CONDITION:USED, moderate wear to cover. 464 pages including index, published 1987
