FORMING AND CENTERING: FOUNDATIONAL ASPECTS OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
Book ID/图书代码： 06684517C00093
English Summary/英文概要： Nearly every work of architecture can be characterized by specific approaches to forming and centering. An awareness of these “underpinnings” would facilitate a more informed approach to architectural design problems, as well as a deeper understanding of the central issues (and flaws) embodied by completed works of architecture. But the addressing of such topics has generally remained multifarious and diverse: more in the nature of a collection of independent issues than an overarching analytical argument. In this book, fresh looks at such issues are 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.
The author uses an equally weighted interplay of discussion and diagram, with over 450 illustrations throughout the book. In addition, the text includes many links to further information online in the form of narratives, photographs, delineations, and contextual views.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 几乎每一个建筑作品都可以用特定的方法来形成和定心。对这些“基础”的认识将有助于对建筑设计问题采取更明智的方法，以及对已完成的建筑作品所体现的中心问题(和缺陷)有更深刻的理解。但是，对这类主题的处理通常仍然是五花八门和多种多样的:更多的是一系列独立问题的性质，而不是一个包罗万象的分析性论点。在这本书中，以建筑设计的两个基本和互补的方面为基础，对这些问题进行了全新的审视，并将其重新组合成一个完整的叙述，这两个方面是建筑设计的基础和补充形成形状的方面，以及形成焦点和定心的方面。
作者使用了讨论和图表的同等重要性的相互作用，全书有超过450幅插图。此外，文本包括许多链接到进一步的信息，在网上的形式的叙述，照片，描述，和上下文的看法。（WYL）
Awards/获奖情况：莫菲特说，在建筑设计的所有美学和技术方面的知识背后，也许在下面，是隐藏在后脑的众多因素，原始的方面仍然相当模糊和难以理解，并有助于产生一种神秘感。他专注于这些元素，掸去它们的灰尘，照亮它们黑暗的角落，揭示它们自己的内在关系。从形成开始，他讨论了加法、复制、减法、变形、维度和形成杂交。然后转向定心，包括限位情况，连接情况，定心混合。分布于北美洲特平分布。——注释(c) 2017”(protoview.com)”
Behind--perhaps below--all the learned esthetic and technical aspects of designing a building are a multitude of factors hidden in the hindbrain, says Moffett, primal aspects that remain rather vague and ill-understood and contribute to a sense of enigma. He focuses on these elements, dusting them off, lighting their dark corners, and revealing their own internal set of relationships. Beginning with forming, he discusses addition, replication, subtraction, deformation, dimensionalities, and formative hybrids. Then the turns to centering and covers limiting cases, linking cases, and centering hybrids. Distributed in North America by Turpin Distribution.--Annotation (c)2017 "(protoview.com) "
About the Author/作者介绍： 肯尼斯•莫菲特从小就痴迷于艺术和建筑。从北卡罗莱纳州立大学设计学院毕业后，他获得了为期一年的欧洲旅行和学习的巴黎奖。沃尔特•格罗皮乌斯创办了建筑与规划公司布洛克史密斯并一直担任该公司的设计总监。该公司在国内外做了大量获奖的工作。无数次的旅行和会议增强了他对过去和现在的建筑和城市化的洞察力——它的错误和成就。他和他的妻子住在他1977年设计的房子里，从那以后一直在扩建。他从事各种各样的艺术、音乐、写作和社区活动。他的女儿是个艺术家，住在伦敦。
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.
