The Architecture Concept Book

Architecture is a discipline of concepts — of ideas about space, light, proportion, programme, and the relationship between building and context that generate, in the hands of a skilled architect, the physical form that we then inhabit. The Architecture Concept Book presents fifty of the most important concepts in architectural thinking — from the classical notion of order and proportion through the Modernist revolution of function over ornament to the contemporary debates about parametric design, sustainability, and the social role of the built environment — with clarity, depth, and the visual richness that only Thames & Hudson can provide.

An essential intellectual companion for architecture students and a genuinely illuminating read for anyone who wants to understand how architects actually think. Published by Thames & Hudson.
