Edson da Cunha Mahfuz argues that meaningful architecture does not emerge from trends, technologies, or abstract concepts, but from architecture itself-through the critical engagement with its history, forms, and built examples.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombining theoretical clarity with close readings of exemplary works-from Le Corbusier to Paulo Mendes da Rocha-the book reveals how program, site, and construction are synthesized through form. Each chapter distills essential design principles from canonical projects, offering architects and students a rigorous method grounded in observation, analysis, and (re)construction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt once a critique of contemporary practice and a guide to learning and teaching design, this book reaffirms architecture as a discipline rooted in its own knowledge, craft, and accumulated intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edson Mahfuz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 6502101666\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9786502101667\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pep Livros\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/12\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 102\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 8.50w x 0.21d","brand":"Edson Mahfuz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852876591359,"sku":"9786502101667","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/architectural-precedents-edson-mahfuz-9786502101667","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
