Description:
This workbook is organized into nine parts that explore a diverse array of architectural motives. Themes such as ‘Architecture as Theatre’, ‘Stretching the Vocabulary’, and ‘The City of Large and Small’ provide inspiring key themes for readers to draw upon when initiating their design projects. Each motive is exemplified through a wide range of work, including historical and Modernist examples, observations from city streets, recent innovative architectural works by contemporary practitioners, and selections from Sir Peter Cook’s extensive personal archive. This collection weaves together a rich and dynamic visual scrapbook that encompasses both the everyday and the architectural, spanning past and present.
