Summary:
"Analysing architecture" offers a unique 'notebook' of architectural strategies to present an engaging introduction to elements and concepts in architectural design. Illustrated throughout with the author's original drawings, examples are drawn from across architectural history - from prehistoric primitive places, to temples, cottages and late twentieth century structures - to illustrate a number of themes and to show how drawing can be used as an analytical tool. Clearly identifying the key elements of architecture, conceptual themes apparent in buildings, and describing ideas for use in the active process of design, the book takes the form of, and encourages the use of, a 'notebook' of architectural strategies. Unwin explores the underlying patterns of architecture to reveal the organizational strategies which lie beneath the superficial appearances of buildings.

Summary:
Les maquettes d'architecture sont apparues il y a quelque 8000 ans. Depuis, elles n'ont jamais cessé d'exercer leur fascination, répondant aux usages les plus divers. Elles accompagnent les défunts dans l'au-delà (maisons d'âmes égyptiennes), distraient les enfants (maisons de poupées, boîtes de construction), servent aux militaires (plans-reliefs de villes fortifiées), passionnent les collectionneurs (modèles en liège du XVIIIe siècle), défient les pâtissiers et les bouchers (architectures en sucre d 'Antonin Carême), s'imposent aux artisans (chefs-d'œuvre des Compagnons), épaulent les archéologues (maquettes de la Rome antique)... Pour les architectes, la maquette est surtout une manière d'appréhender l'espace et la volumétrie. Elle permet de visualiser des projets en vue dé les améliorer, les rendre accessibles à un public de non-initiés ou encore en assurer la promotion. L'anthropologue Lévi-Strauss estimait que toit modèle réduit a une vocation artistique, sa fabrication à la main est une expérience en soi. Aujourd'hui de nombreux artistes s'expriment à travers des maquettes.

Summary:
Measures are the subject of this unusual book, in which Robert Tavernor offers a fascinating account of the various measuring systems human beings have devised over two millennia. Tavernor urges us to look beyond the notion that measuring is strictly a scientific activity, divorced from human concerns. Instead, he sets measures and measuring in cultural context and shows how deeply they are connected to human experience and history. The book explores changing attitudes toward measure, focusing on key moments in art, sculpture, architecture, philosophy, and the development of scientific thought. It encompasses the journey of Western civilization from the construction of the Great Pyramid to the first manned flight to the moon. Beginning with a review of early measuring standards that referred to the feet and inches of ideal bodies, the book then tracks how Enlightenment interest in a truly scientific system of measure led to the creation of the metric system. This “rational” approach to measure in turn has inspired artists, architects, writers, and others to seek a balance that takes the human story into account. Tavernor concludes with a discussion of measure in our own time, when space travel presents to humankind a direct encounter with the unfathomable measure of the universe.
