Uniform Title:
Grundbegriffe der Architektur
Content:
Dictionary of architectural experience — the vocabulary of space Architecture is an experience — with the intellect and with all our senses, in motion, and in use. But in order to actually discuss and assess it with relevance, a clarifi cation of terms is essential in order to avoid the vagueness that often prevails when talking about architecture.This dictionary provides a vocabulary that allows the architecture discourse to go beyond the declaration of constructive relationships or the description of architectonic forms in familiar terms like 0roof,0 0base,0 0wall,0 and 0axis0 or 0proportion0. The point is to describe the experience of architecture: how exactly does it contribute to the experience of a situation? For instance, the staging of an entrance situation, or the layout and visitor routes through a museum.From 0context,0 through 0guidance,0 0readability,0 0patina,0 0spatial structure,0 0symmetry0 and 0tectonics,0 to 0width0 (and 0narrowness0) or 0window,0 the most important terms in architectural language are explained precisely and in detail.
