The design of cities and buildings affects the quality of our lives. Making the built environment useful, safe, comfortable, efficient, and as beautiful as possible is a universal quest. We dream about how we might live, work, and play. From these dreams come some 95 percent of all private and public buildings; professional architects design only about 5 percent of the built environment. While much of what non-architects build is beautiful and useful, the ugliness and inconveniences that blight many urban areas demonstrate that an understanding of good architectural design is vital for creating livable buildings and public spaces. To help promote this understanding among non-architects, as well as among those considering architecture as a profession, award-winning architect and professor Hal Box explains the process of making architecture from concept to completed building, using real-life examples to illustrate the principles involved in designing buildings that enhance the quality of life for those who live with them. To cause what we build to become architecture, we have three choices: hire an architect, become an architect, or learn to think like an architect. Box believes that everyone should be involved in making architecture and has organized this book as a series of letters to friends and students about the process of creating architecture. He describes what architecture should be and do; how to look at and appreciate good buildings; and how to understand the design process, work with an architect, or become an architect. He also provides an overview of architectural history, with lists of books to read and buildings to see. For those involved in building projects, Box offers practical guidance about what goes into constructing a building, from the first view of the site to the finished building. For students thinking of becoming architects, he describes an architect's typical training and career path. And for the wide public audience interested in architecture and the built environment, Box addresses how architecture relates to the city, where the art of architecture is headed, and why good architecture matters.
书的设计很让人舒服,印刷也好,拿在手里感觉很棒 作者是个建筑从业者,还是建筑学院的优秀院长,擅长教育,书写得细致体贴. 内容上适合建筑学爱好者或者大学生来读,像我这样的读起来会快许多,有些知识还是值得汲取.但营养不是很充分.也许我是门外汉的缘故.

评分读《像建筑师那样思考》,我觉得与其说作者是在阐述一种建筑理念,不如说他是在阐述一种生活理念—这种生活理念的实质不是让人迎合建筑物,而是让建筑物最大可能地满足人们的需要。这种生活理念给我带来了不少启示。正像豪.鲍克斯所说的那样:“除了设计、建设、精神内涵...
评分这是一本值得五星推荐的读物。 这本书的写作语境是:虽然建筑是一门专业职业。但这世界上绝大多数的建筑是由非建筑专业毕业、或者说没有建筑师资格的人主持建造的。在作者看来,这大量的“业余者的建筑”,而不是那少数伟大建筑师的建筑,形塑了我们的世界。 所以“业余建筑...
