Forming and Centering

Foundational Aspects of Architectural Design

Beschreibung

In this book a fresh look at the central issues of architecture is assembled and recast into a fully integrated narrative, based on two foundational and complementary aspects of architectural design: those that give shape and those that give focus-forming and centering.

Autor

Kenneth M. Moffett has been obsessed with art and architecture since his early youth. Upon graduation from the School of Design, North Carolina State University, he was awarded the Paris Prize for a year's travel and study in Europe. After intern years with The Architects Collaborative, the firm established by Walter Gropius, a move to East Tennessee led to the founding of the architecture and planning firm BullockSmith, of which he remains Design Director. The firm has done a wide range of award-winning work nationwide and abroad. Numerous trips and conferences have enhanced his discernment of architecture and urbanism past and present--its errors as well as its achievements. He and his wife reside in the house he designed in 1977 and has added onto ever since. He engages in a wide variety of art, music, writing and community activities. His daughter, an artist, resides in London.
