Andrea Deplazes
***RIBA Bookshops 2006 Book Award WINNER*** The judges were impressed by the book's success in showing how much architectural expression depends on structural composition. It provides a valuable bridge between education and practice, between student and architect, and will be an inspiration to all. Isabel Allen, Chair of judging panel and Editor of the Architects Journal. Creativity and the application of technical expertise are intrinsic to the process of building. Constructing Architecture conveys the fundamental principles of conception and construction for the realisation of a wide range of designs and building types in an integral approach. Buildings that have set aesthetic and architectonic standards provide instructive case-studies which are accompanied by over 1200 illustrations, plans, cross sections and drawings. Also included is a systematic and comparative catalogue of components documented in 1:20 scale, and a comprehensive subject index combine to make this an indispensable reference work for students and professionals.
