Even in a digital age, Tait insists that \"we must always think before we design. We must always have a reason to build.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach theme is accompanied by photographs, plans, and illustrations specifically drawn by the author to explain spatial ideas, form small scale to the urban. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Tait\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0500294135\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780500294130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Thames \u0026amp; Hudson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 7.70w x 1.00d","brand":"James Tait","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990202876159,"sku":"9780500294130","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4255b029-c58b-4570-aeec-1d1bf7021167.jpg?v=1683303585","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-architecture-concept-book-james-tait-9780500294130","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
