Description: From Exterior Design in Architecture -"When a family on a picnic spreads out a rug in an open field... there suddenly emerges a place for family enjoyment, a space carved out from nature...""Then a man and a woman walking in the rain, open an umbrella, there is immediately created under the umbrella a world of 'just you an me'... "These are exterior spaces – and this book is a complete handbook for the architect on the subject of exterior design. Both the theory and practise of designing exterior space – the city plaza, the exterior of and setting for a building or group of building, the garden, the courtyard, and others– are discussed here in a thoroughly professional approach. Through the imaginative use of illustrations and striking visual-image examples, the author communicates a basic feeling for the concepts of exterior design as well as a clear understanding of the specifics. "When architects create space, not with umbrellas or rugs, but with architectural materials, floors, walls, and ceilings are all important elements. Suppose, for example, that we have built a brick wall on ordinary ground where sunshine sparkles..."Exterior Design in Architecture is a practical handbook. It deals with the realities of design–the problems involved, the approaches possible, examples of what has been done in the field. Mr. Ashihara, who is an internationally known architect, has traveled all over the world gathering material for the book. Japanese and Western (primarily American and Italian) approaches to design are compared and analyzed as to their various merits and possibilities.
