About this product

Product Information

The Second Edition of this classic introduction to the principles of architecture is everything you would expect from the celebrated architect, author, and illustrator, Francis D. K. Ching. Each page has been meticulously revised to incorporate contemporary examples of the principles of form, space, and order-the fundamental vocabulary of every designer. The result is a beautifully illustrated volume that embraces today's forms and looks at conventional models with a fresh perspective. Here, Ching examines every principal of architecture, juxtaposing images that span centuries and cross cultural boundaries to create a design vocabulary that is both elemental and timeless. Among the topics covered are point, line, plane, volume, proportion, scale, circulation, and the interdependence of form and space. While this revision continues to be a comprehensive primer on the ways form and space are interrelated and organized in the shaping of our environment, it has been refined to amplify and clarify concepts. In addition, the Second Edition contains: * Numerous new hand-rendered drawings * Expanded sections on openings and scale * Expanded chapter on design principles * New glossary and index categorized by the author * New 8 1/2 × 11 upright trim In the Second Edition of Architecture: Form, Space, and Order, the author has opted for a larger format and crisper images. Mr. Ching has retained the style of his hand-lettered text, a hallmark of each of his books. This rich source of architectural prototypes, each rendered in Mr. Ching's signature style, also serves as a guide to architectural drawing. Doubtless, many will want this handsome volume for the sheer beauty of it. Architects and students alike will treasure this book for its wealth of practical information and its precise illustrations. Mr. Ching has once again created a visual reference that illuminates the world of architectural form.

I took a chance on this comic book. The description just said “book”. They didn’t use a real picture of the book either. But still I purchased it. Book came in today in a flimsy package with no cardboard backing nor was it in a sealed bag. This book came from a library and still has the library stickers on it and has been stamped inside by the library itself.

  • It's on the Up-and-Up, Buttercup!

    Great primer on design elements, thought process and creative techniques. I ran across this in a classroom by accident and bought a copy to have at home to peruse occasionally, and for my kids to look at it and take some inspiration from.

    Very informative book for any one interested in architecture or the student studying about this subject matter. It shows many different samples of architectural styles from contemporary to the great masters of old. Gives you a greater appreciation of the intricasies of space and form and all the other components that make up architectral designs and concepts. My son majoring in architecture really loved it. Cool book with many illustrations! Neat read!

  • Architecture by Frank D K Ching

    Just like an other Ching book this book is a great resource for architectural information. "Architectural" covers many areas of theory of architecture such as spacial organization, form, anthropometry, ergonomics and much more. If you are a struggling architecture student then I recommend that you buy this. Its also a great book for bigginers in architecture, as this book shows a lot of examples and makes the concept easier to understand. The final line is buy this book if you need help..
