analysing ARCHITECTURE 'analysing ARCHITECTURE should become an essential part of all architectural education and an informative guide to the powerful analytical tool of architectural drawing.' Howard Ray Lawrence,Pennsylvania State University analysing ARCHITECTURE offers a unique 'notebook'of ar- chitectural strategies to present an engaging introduction to ele- ments and concepts in architectural design.Beautifully illustrated throughout with the author's original drawings,examples from across architectural history,from primitive places to late twenti- eth-century structures,are used to illustrate a number of analyti- cal themes and to show how drawing can be used to study architecture. Simon Unwin clearly identifies the key elements of architecture and conceptual themes apparent in buildings.He describes ideas for use in the active process of design.Breaking down the gram- mar of architecture into themes and 'moves',Unwin exposes its underlying patterns to reveal the organisational strategies that lie beneath the superficial appearances of buildings. Exploring buildings as results of the interaction of people with the world around them,analysing ARCHITECTURE offers a definition of architecture as 'identification of place',and pro- vides a greater understanding of architecture as a creative disci- pline.This book presents a powerful impetus for readers to develop their own capacities for architectural design. Simon Unwin is Lecturer in Architecture at The Welsh School of Architecture,University of Wales,Cardiff

The first chapter offers a working definition of architec- ture,as identification of place. This is put forward as the pri- mary concern of architecture, and as a theme underpins eve- rything that follows.Realisa- tion that the primitive motivation of architecture is to identify (to recognise,amplify, create the identity of)places has been the key that has allowed access into the related areas explored in this book. A large part of the book deals with conceptual strategies used in design.There are chap- ters which look at different ways of organising space,and at the various roles of geometry in architecture. The poetic and philosophi- cal potential of architecture is, I think,evident throughout.If poetry is a condensation of ex- perience of life,then architec- ture is poetic,essentially.But it can be seen that some works of architecture do more:they seem to provide a transcendent po- etry-a level of meaning and significance that overlays the
