Language of Space

Introduction

This unique guide provides a systematic overview of the idea of architectural space.

Author and Approach

Bryan Lawson provides an ideal introduction to the topic, breaking down the complex and abstract terms used by many design theoreticians when writing about architectural space. Instead, our everyday knowledge is reintroduced to the language of design. Design values of space are challenged and informed to stimulate a new theoretical and practical approach to design.

Viewpoints on Architectural and Urban Spaces

This book views architectural and urban spaces as psychological, social and partly cultural phenomena. They accommodate, separate, structure, facilitate, heighten and even celebrate human spatial behaviour.
