Book Description
The mysterious question of where design ideas come from has plagued architects and those who aspire to join their ranks from time immemorial. What is the origin of the ephemeral design concept, or what Charles Jencks has described in this Introduction here as the "generative idea"? Can it be quantified? Can students be taught how to develop one? And if so, what is the best way to do so? Schools of architecture would not exist if teachers did not believe it is possible, but there has never been a proposal for systematic method to do so, until now.
Design Concepts in Architecture by Dr. Jihad Awad is the first comprehensive, concerted, scholarly attempt to describe what others have previously believed to be indescribable. By doing so he has made an invaluable contribution to the field, which is of enormous value to professionals, researchers, educators and the most of all to students.
To achieve his goal of demystifying the design process, Dr. Awad set himself the Herculean task of collecting the best projects from almost 100 of the top architects, as well as asking them describe their design approach in their own words.
This provides us with a remarkably privileged insight into the way that the most talented architects in the world approach the seemingly amorphous process of formulating a design concept, and then go about transforming it into reality.
In organizing the book, Dr. Awad has avoided the trap of trying to classify or categorize the work of the participants, letting them speak for themselves. This sensible approach allows us to objectively access the work, and the backstory that produced it, on its own merits, and to compare across the wired spectrum of material that the author has provided for us.
Total objectivity is difficult, however, because of the high quality and thoroughness of the presentations, which includes plans, sections and elevations in addition to many ravishing color images of each of the projects, as well.
The unprecedented, four volume set of Dr. Jihad Awad’s design concepts in Architecture is a must have acquisition, for anyone interested in understanding how great buildings originate.
