The same applies to our visual perception and how it influences our thinking and world of ideas. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePortraits: Architectural Parables \u003c\/i\u003etraces these themes through a wealth of images from art history and everyday culture, as well as through analytical and classifying texts. With this book, Fran輟is Charbonnet and Patrick Heiz, the founding partners of the highly acclaimed Swiss design firm Made In, reveal the approaches they take in their design methodology as well as in their teaching at ETH Zurich's Department of Architecture and the Accademia di architettura in Mendrisio. The distinctive feature of this book lies in the linking and collaging of mutually illuminating, yet apparently antagonistic, programs. Made In's method does not claim historical accuracy, as sources and facts are intentionally collaged to serve a reductive purpose. The focus is on the potential they see in the cross-fertilization of different images and ideas rather than on a single, all-embracing model of thought. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fran輟is Charbonnet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3038603090\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783038603092\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Park Publishing (WI)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/23\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 656\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.80h x 7.30w x 1.70d","brand":"Fran輟is Charbonnet","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44132520362239,"sku":"9783038603092","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e704dd56-31a9-4852-87cd-837583e587d4.jpg?v=1687480691","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/portraits-franois-charbonnet-9783038603092","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
