The drawing has always been our most essential method of communication. Drawings have offered us both a glimpse into the past and a view to the future. As a vehicle of transferring ideas, it is without equal. As the computer gains ground in our society, the drawing and the ability to execute it are diminishing. Many architectural educators continue to extol the virtues of the drawing and the sketch; however, students seem to not comprehend the value and the didactic nature of this fundamental act.As one renders an architectural drawing, one must consider all aspects of the scene; the material, the details, the sun, the space. The immediacy of the decisions cannot be overstated.Many consider ...
Rationalism and Poetry
From the Introduction Como's Asilo D'Infanzia Sant'Elia occupies a unique position in the oeuvre of Giuseppe Terragni. Executed between his two most celebrated works, the Casa del Fascio of 1932, and the Casa Giuliani Frigerio of 1939, Terragni was possibly at the apex of his architectural prowess, via imagination and creativity, at its execution. The building itself is a physical manifestation encompassing Terrangni's seminal ideas and theories on architecture and urbanism. [...] The Asilo, a public nursery school, was a relatively modest project, situated in a working class quarter of Como, just south of the city walls. Its humble location alone rendered the project a departure from the co...
Architecture Principia
For courses in design studios and introductory history/theory courses that examine the fundamental principles of architecture. Architecture Principia : Architectural Principles of Material Form provides a comprehensive look at the foundational themes of architecture. Simultaneously fundamental and advanced, the text employs comparative precedents, case studies from across the history of architecture, consistent and clear graphic language, and a parallel visual and textual presentation of each architectural principle. Written by designers, for designers, the text is intended to serve as an analytical handbook of the concepts behind these diverse, formal principles as viewed through the history of architecture.
Computer System Organization
Computer System Organization: The B5700/B6700 Series focuses on the organization of the B5700/B6700 Series developed by Burroughs Corp. More specifically, it examines how computer systems can (or should) be organized to support, and hence make more efficient, the running of computer programs that evolve with characteristically similar information structures. Comprised of nine chapters, this book begins with a background on the development of the B5700/B6700 operating systems, paying particular attention to their hardware/software architecture. The discussion then turns to the block-structured processes involved in the B6700 job, which consists of a time-invariant algorithm and a time-varying...
Terrangni's Asilo D'Infanzia Sant'Elia
Giuseppe Terragni was one of the leading architects of the Rationalist movement which took place in Fascist Italy. Using a series of analytical diagrams, this book not only provides a detailed exploration of one of Terragni's masterpieces, the Asilo d'Infanzia, but also examines the urban, political and historic contexts in which it was constructed, as well as offering unique insights into Terragni's design process and the importance of history to his architecture.
The Architect's Tour
If you want to be a good designer, set aside the glossy magazines, turn off your computer, and seek out first-hand encounters with good design. When it comes to cities, buildings, and art, actual experience is almost always better than the virtual kind. No image can replicate Le Corbusier's Ronchamp when the light is just right, or capture the silent speech one hears on a stroll through Ian Hamilton Finlay's Little Sparta, or explain hours dissolving in Peter Zumthor's baths at Vals. That is the reason for this book: to encourage you to actively pursue direct aesthetic experience in the built environment, and to reflect upon the best reasons and ways to be a dedicated design traveler. Traveling to learn is an integral part of the education of student architects and designers. It is vital for designers to know how to be effective design travelers, to know how to seek out and encounter places, buildings, and objects, and to develop a capacity for looking, drawing, and, above all, discerning. But to be a student is only to be "one who is studying," which means all of us who, if we are truly alive, delight in the application of the mind to the acquisition of knowledge.
Perspective Drawing
A book that teaches hands-on perspective drawing using the projected image method developed by architect and former University of Florida architecture professor Harry Merritt.

The Challenge of Crime in a Free Society
This report of the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice -- established by President Lyndon Johnson on July 23, 1965 -- addresses the causes of crime and delinquency and recommends how to prevent crime and delinquency and improve law enforcement and the administration of criminal justice. In developing its findings and recommendations, the Commission held three national conferences, conducted five national surveys, held hundreds of meetings, and interviewed tens of thousands of individuals. Separate chapters of this report discuss crime in America, juvenile delinquency, the police, the courts, corrections, organized crime, narcotics and drug abuse, drunkenne...
Family History Research
This is a "how to" book on genealogy, but it includes a lot of the research the author has done on the Delaforce family.
