Description
Basics Architecture 03: Architectural Design explains the process of designing architectural projects. It describes the design studio and the activities that take place there.
The architectural design process is as diverse as the people who practise it; all architects follows their own individual design process. In this dynamic new text the realities of the design process and the relationship between education and practice are explored in detail.
The book introduces a variety of processes through examples and case studies. This allows readers to identify with certain methods with which they could respond to in their own work, and enables them to develop their own unique approach.

Reviews / Votes
The book is any excellent reference for students throughout the course. I would certainly recommend the book for the subject. * Deepika Shetty, Manipal School of Architecture and Planning, India * Extremely relevant - an excellent overview to assist students' understanding of the design process. A fascinating insight into how other schools and architectural practices learn/teach/develop/assist etc. Excellent layout and design - all very clear with useful case studies and relevant projects. * Ric Frankland, University of Salford, UK * Very useful book; interesting for students to learn about and to get a better understanding of different design processes which can assist by the development of their own preference for studio design. * Rob de Maat, University of Malawi, Malawi * We use most of AVA's Architecture series - I have found them invaluable. * Gill Swan, UCLAN, UK * Basic Architecture 03: Architectural Design is truly exceptional and has motivated me to want to see the others in the series. The text is exceptional in both content and quality. The series is worthy of serious consideration for any basic architecture program. * Robert Hodge, Howard County Public School System, US *More details
