Practical Poetics in ArchitectureThe emphasis of the book is on analysing and explaining the sensibility of poetics at work in designing and constructing architecture. The book is rich in analytical diagrams, and documents featured projects through plans, sections and photography. The text is matter of fact and concrete. It, however, remains richly connected to its forbearers and the writings of William Lethaby, Gaston Bachelard and Steen Eiler Rasmussen. It is highly contemporary in its examples and in its connections to the evolving science of perception. The book features selected projects from architects around the world, from emerging practices to well-established offices, including Peter Cook/Crab Studio, DSDHA, Sean Godsell Architects, O’Donnell+Tuomey, Ushida Findlay and WOHA.
