{"product_id":"a-house-and-its-atmosphere-ben-jacks-9781683150053","title":"A House and its Atmosphere","description":"A House and its Atmosphere is a meditative essay about the experience of designing and building a house of one's own. Told in seventy black and white photographs and a series of narrative excursions, architect Ben Jacks reflects on a lifetime of influences as he reveals the personal nature of inhabiting a place at the edge of a tidal cove on an island in Maine. A House and its Atmosphere quietly advocates for the simple logic and modest ease of direct experience and an observational perspective in architecture. A House and its Atmosphere is a grounded story about designing and building a small work of architecture. With students of architecture and amateur builders in mind, Ben Jacks makes a case for design informed by theories of place-identification, detail, and craft. The book is a primary source and a chronicle of experience of radical empiricism. As such it offers a kind of conceptual tool kit for those interested in thinking about the processes of architecture, designing, and placemaking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ben Jacks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1683150058\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781683150053\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Culicidae Architectural Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Ben Jacks","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48445577167103,"sku":"9781683150053","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_33e8b081-66b7-4fbc-8131-ab646917d93a.jpg?v=1777219384","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-house-and-its-atmosphere-ben-jacks-9781683150053","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
