Description: Analysing Architecture is a unique "notebook" of architectural strategies which presents an engaging introduction to elements and concepts in architectural design. Beautifully illustrated throughout with the author's original drawings, examples are drawn from across architectural history -- from prehistoric and primitive places, to temples, cottages and late 20th century structures -- which illustrate various themes and show how drawing can be used as an analytical tool. The book takes the form of, and encourages the use of, a "notebook" of architectural ideas and sketches, both breaking down and fully illustrating the vocabulary of architecture.

Showing the interaction of people and the world around them as represented in the buildings, Analysing Architecture offers a greater understanding of architecture's creative disciplines and a chance for readers to develop further their own capacities for architectural design.
