Hardcover. Num Pages: 80 pages, black & white illustrations, black & white halftones, colour illustrations. BIC Classification: AMC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 298 x 244 x 12. Weight in Grams: 698.
This book examines the application of the principle of layering in architecture, its mechanics, possible application and meaning. Layering is widely used in the discussions of the 20th and 21st centuries architecture but rarely defined or examined. Layering bridges the tectonics of structure and skin, offers a system for the creation of different architectural spaces over time and functions as a design principle without hierarchy. Three types of layering are identified: a chronological sedimentation of planes materializing changes over time (temporal layering), the additive sequence of spaces (spatial layering), and the stratification of individual planes (material layering). Like a palimpsest, ... Read more
