Commonly found in architectural literature and journalism, in critical design debate and especially in student project reviews, Archispeak can seem insular and perplexing to others and -- particularly to the new architectural student -- often incomprehensible. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere is a need to translate architectural design concepts into spoken and written commentary -- each word in use embodying a precise and universally accepted architectural meaning. If we explore the vocabulary of this language we gain insight into good design practice and into collective understanding of what constitutes a refined architecture. This unique illustrated guide will help students understand the nuances of this specialized language and help them in communicating their own design ideas. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom Porter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415300126\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415300124\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/03\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 218\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.48h x 4.96w x 0.48d","brand":"Tom Porter","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980931727615,"sku":"9780415300124","price":52.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_41c5162a-9361-4e2f-bfb9-4c76ca330359.jpg?v=1683252730","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/archispeak-tom-porter-9780415300124","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
