Process and Expression in Architectural Form by Gunnar Birkerts
Call Number: NA737.B53 A4 1994
ISBN: 9780806126425
Publication Date: 1994
Generously illustrated with concept development sketches as well as site plans, section drawings, full schematics, and photographs of finished buildings, this engaging volume focuses on "organic synthesis," the creative process that is architect Gunnar Birkerts's methodology and philosophy. Birkerts likens his organic approach to listening to music: the music must be heard as it unfolds; an attempt to perceive it all at once would reduce it to noise.
