This book introduces methods that consider and explain the process of architecture, and explains how these ideas are informed by better understanding site, context and historical precedent. Broken down into six chapters,The Fundamentals of Architecture looks at placing architecture, the history and precedent of the discipline, construction and materials, representation of ideas, contemporary concepts and realisation.
