The Primer - Softcover

This text highlights the various challenges faced by an architect in the modern climate. The author dissects the buildings into individual elements, such as staircases, entrance halls and living areas, and describes the design concept of each subject in detail. He then goes on to discuss the wider implications of design and its theory, enabling the reader to develop an understanding of the whole project by a knowledge of its parts. Numerous examples from architects such as Lebbeus Woods, Itsuko Hasegawa and Eric Owen Moss are provided.
