Summary:
An essential toolkit for understanding architecture as both art form and the setting for our everyday lives We spend most of our days and nights in buildings, living and working and sometimes playing. Architecture is both the setting for our everyday lives and a public art form - but it remains mysterious to most of us. In "How architecture works", Witold Rybczynski, answers our most fundamental questions about how good - and not so good - buildings are designed and constructed. Introducing the reader to the rich and varied world of modern architecture, he reveals how architects as diverse as Frank Gehry, Renzo Piano, and Robert A. M. Stern envision and create their designs. He teaches us how to read" plans, how buildingsrespond to their settings, and how the smallest detail - of a stair balustrade, for instance - can convey an architect's vision. How Architecture Works explains the central elements that make up good building design, ranging from a war memorial in London to an opera house in Saint Petersburg, from the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, D.C., to a famous architect's private retreat in Princeton, New Jersey. It is an enlightening humanist's toolkit for thinking about the built environment and seeing it afresh.

Summary:
This highly visual introduction to all things typographic unravels the story of the fonts that we encounter every day. It opens with an A-Z of a range of significant fonts, chosen to represent the typographic spectrum. As well as looking at each font’s historical context and design ethos, a pangram will showcase the entire alphabetic range of each font, as well as relaying a pithy message about the font’s history, purpose or use. A chapter on Anatomy will deconstruct the letters of the English alphabet to reveal the anatomical structure of the letterforms, explaining terms such as bowl, crossbar, finial, ligature and spur. An examination of the typographer’s toolkit explains how type can be manipulated and arranged on the page to create an arresting design. The final chapter examines the myriad signs, symbols and punctuation marks that litter the printed page, created to endow printed text with additional meaning and nuance.
