Note publique d'information : "There is new content in this revised edition of Exercises in Architecture: Learning
to Think as an Architect. All the original exercises have been revised and new ones
added. The format has been changed in a way that allows the inclusion of more supplementary
material. The aim remains the same, to help pre- or early-course architecture students
begin and develop their ability to think as architects. Learning to do architecture
is tricky. It involves awakening abilities that remain dormant in most people. It
is like learning language for the first time; a task made more mystifying by the fact
that architecture deals not in words but in places: places to stand, to walk, to sit,
to sleep, to cook, to eat, to work, to play, to worship... This book was written for
those who want to be architects. It suggests a basis for early experiences in a school
of architecture; but it could also be used in secondary schools and colleges, or as
self-directed preparation for students in the months before entering professional
education. Exercises in Architecture builds on and supplements the methodology for
architectural analysis presented in the author's previous book Analysing Architecture:
the Universal Language of Place-Making (fifth edition, 2021) and demonstrated in his
Twenty-Five Buildings Every Architect Should Understand (Routledge, 2015). Together,
the three books, deal with the three aspects of learning any creative discipline:
1. Analysing Architecture provides a methodology for analysis that develops an understanding
of the way architecture works; 2. Twenty-Five Buildings explores and extends that
methodology through analysis of examples as case studies; and 3. Exercises in Architecture
offers a way of expanding understanding and developing fluency by following a range
of rudimentary and more sophisticated exercises. Those who wish to become professional
architects (wherever in the world they might be) must make a conscious effort to learn
the universal language of architecture as place-making, to explore its powers and
how they might be used. The exercises in this book are designed to help"
