Interior Architecture | Degree Course

"What can you do with a degree in architecture? Where might it take you? What kind of challenges could you address? Architects After Architecture reframes architecture as a uniquely versatile way of acting on the world, far beyond that of designing buildings. In this volume, we meet forty practitioners through profiles, case studies, and interviews who have used their architectural training in new and resourceful ways to tackle the climate crisis, work with refugees, advocate for diversity, start tech companies, become leading museum curators, tackle homelessness, draft public policy, become developers, design videogames, shape public discourse, and much more. Together, they describe a future of architecture that is diverse and engaged, expanding the limits of the discipline, and offering new paths forward in times of crisis.

Don't Get a Job, Make a Job explores strategies for graduates to gain exposure in the creative industries - including design, fashion and advertising. Too often a design or architecture degree is seen as a means to an end (a job in an established practice). But imagine for one moment that there are no employers, no firms to send your CV to, no interviews to be had - what would you do? How would you forge your own path after graduation? The current economic climate has seen many graduates chasing a finite number of positions. The most ingenious and driven designers have found weird and wonderful ways of making opportunities for themselves, often by applying their skills across the creative disciplines of art, design, architecture and interiors. Knowing what you want from your design career and being able to adapt your strategy to suit is basic and vital - just like in the wild, designers need to evolve.

This book examines how different software can be incorporated into the traditional phases of an interior design project and demonstrates technical tactics within those programs to optimize workflow and interoperability.

Thomas Heatherwick is a designer and the founder of London-based design practice Heatherwick Studio, which was started in the late 1990s. Considered one of Britains most significant designers, Heatherwick is known for his work on all scales. This instalment is divided across four themes Reuse, Nurture, Connect, Gather and takes stock of the last 20 years of the studios practice through a detailed look at no less than 20 exemplary projects. Among these are Eden Residential Tower in Singapore, Googles Mountain View Campus, New Yorks Pier 55, and Rolling Bridge in London. Deyan Sudjic, former director of the Design Museum, London, contributes the opening essay.

At a time when work and home life are becoming increasingly blurred, and modern technology brings the realm of the public into what used to be a personal and private space, Ed Hollis looks at what it means to make a home in today's world. Exploring the meaning of private and public space, the importance we place on physical objects and the demands we make of our home environment, How to Make a Home challenges us to re-imagine the concept of home and hearth.

'Interior Architecture' provides an in-depth study of the creative and construction processes behind 30 contemporary interior designs. Covering a broad range of international projects, it illustrates the working methods and creative concerns of both long-established and emerging international designers.

Faithful to a radical understanding of the profession, the recipients of the latest Pritzker Prize have over three decades developed a highly committed architecture that has managed to translate the social and environmental concerns of our times into a simple but powerful language. On the occasion of their winning the prestigious award, Arquitectura Viva presents Lacaton & Vassal. 1991–2021, that gathers thirty of the French practice’s most acclaimed works and projects.

Understanding modern more as lifestyle than as style, it is all about clean lines, elegant colour combinations, maximising indoor-outdoor relationships, artfully collecting and displaying design objects and open areas for lounging, cooking and dining.

"It has been a while since I devoured a book on architecture with as much pleasure. I love a good section and I love this book."--Aaron Betsky,Architect Magazine Award-winning architects Paul Lewis, Marc Tsurumaki, and David J. Lewis's essential guide to section. Section, along with plan and elevation, is one of the most important representational techniques of architectural design.Manual of Section is the first book to provide a framework to describe and evaluate this fundamental design process in architecture. Divided into seven categories of section based on extensive archival research: * Range is from simple one-story buildings to complex structures * Features stacked forms, fantastical shapes, internal holes, inclines, sheared planes, nested forms, or combinations of each * Includes sixty-three intricately detailed cross-section perspective drawings of many of the most significant structures in international architecture from the last one hundred years.

Updated with expanded coverage of twenty-first century architecture, this new edition uniquely comprises a detailed survey of Western architecture as well as architecture from the Middle East, Africa, Central and South America, India, Russia, China and Japan. Significant revision also includes photographs and textual discussion of around 50 new buildings. Written in a clear and engaging style, the text encourages readers to examine the pragmatic, innovative and aesthetic attributes of buildings.

Inspiration provides a comprehensive overview of new design methods and techniques that are emerging in the field of architecture. Many of these design methods make use of digital media and computer algorithms. Some already existed for a long time, but are reinvented in new ways, like design by folding paper materials. These new methodologies have changed the way architects and students design.The book showcases hundreds of examples, models, sketches, and renderings of architectural designs within dozens of different methodologies, including:Designing with basic elements (lines, circles, squares, planes, dots)Pattern development (texture, axes, grids, symmetry)Spacial patterns (structure, matrix, modules)Typography as a design tool (psychological phenomena, composition theory, color design)Nonspatial and spatial transformations (figure ground relations, additive spatial design, spatial effects)Basic spatial design, complex spatial design, and parametric design

It has been shown that spatial perception can be improved through practice. Opportunities to offer such practice are offered in this workbook, which was tested by nearly one thousand architecture students before publication, and emerged from an academic study funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, conducted jointly by the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW) and the ETH Zurich. The book contains 75 exercises that work with architectural elements but can be mastered without prior knowledge, plus a section with solutions and explanatory texts by experts from theory and practice by M. Berkowitz, D. Dietz, B. Emo, A. Gerber, Chr. Hölscher, P. Holgate, St. Kurath, C. Leopold, D. Schulz, Th. & N. Shipley, E. Stern, D. Uttal.
