TL;DR: In this paper, Banham has added considerable new material on the use of energy, particularly solar energy, in human environments, including discussions of Indian pueblos and solar architecture, the Centre Pompidou and other high-tech buildings, and the environmental wisdom of many current architectural vernaculars.
Abstract: Reyner Banham was a pioneer in arguing that technology, human needs, and environmental concerns must be considered an integral part of architecture. No historian before him had so systematically explored the impact of environmental engineering on the design of buildings and on the minds of architects. In this revision of his classic work, Banham has added considerable new material on the use of energy, particularly solar energy, in human environments. Included in the new material are discussions of Indian pueblos and solar architecture, the Centre Pompidou and other high-tech buildings, and the environmental wisdom of many current architectural vernaculars.

TL;DR: The use of behavioral sciences in architecture is often based on the assumption that the architect, by relying on the techniques and concepts of the behavioral sciences, will be able to circumvent some of the traditional difficulties of arriving at design solutions as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: This chapter argues that both the belief in a scientifically determined architecture and the belief in an architecture based on the combination of science and intuition rest on false premises. The use of the behavioral sciences in architecture is often based on the assumption that the architect, by relying on the techniques and concepts of the behavioral sciences, will be able to circumvent some of the traditional difficulties of arriving at design solutions. In mentioning typology, Pastor Maldonado is suggesting something quite new, and something which has been rejected again and again by modern theorists. One of the most frequent arguments used against typological procedures in architecture has been that they are a vestige of an age of craft. It is held that the use of models by craftsmen became less necessary as the development of scientific techniques enabled man to discover the general laws underlying the technical solutions of the pre-industrial age.

TL;DR: Pugin's Contrasts and the True Principles of Pointed or Christian Architecture as mentioned in this paper are two key texts of the Gothic Revival and were published in 1836 and 1841, respectively.
Abstract: 2012 Edition: Contrasts and The True Principles of Pointed or Christian Architecture are the two key texts of the Gothic Revival. The young architect and designer A.W.N. Pugin completed his original edition of Contrasts in 1836 shortly after hearing that the scheme he had drawn up for Charles Barry had won the competition for the design of the new Houses of Parliament. At the time he was known mainly as a prodigy, a brilliant designer and draughtsman of Gothic architecture and ornament, but the publication of his book quickly transformed him into the figurehead of the Revival. Five years later he published his True Principles, which converted the dry humour and polemics of his earlier book into a series of accessible and persuasive instructions for architects who wanted to work in the revived style. This facsimile edition of the familiar 1841 versions of both books is presented in association with The Pugin Society.

TL;DR: In this article, some factors related to Architectural Creativity in Graduating Architecture Students are discussed. But they do not consider the relationship between creativity and the degree of a student's education.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theory of architecture machines is proposed, which is a generalization of the theory of machine learning in the field of Architectural Education, and applied to architecture.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate how Western notions of space, time and terrestrial reality may affect the perception of building form in other cultures, and have constrained our understanding of the indigenous architecture of the South Pacific.
Abstract: This paper investigates how Western notions of space, time and terrestrial reality may affect the perception of building form in other cultures, and have constrained our understanding of the indigenous architecture of the South Pacific. Maori concepts of space and time are explored to add a further dimension to understanding the Meeting House, which is widely considered to be the primary building of Maori architecture. This paper argues that Maori architecture may not conform to the Western model of the three dimensional object in space, and could also be understood as existing in time rather than space.

TL;DR: In this article, the non-judgmental, non-directive attitude has influenced the arts, the humanities, and even the social sciences, and professionals, impressed by upheavals in society and the arts are beginning to look for new, more receptive ways of seeing the environment.
Abstract: During the last sixty years, the nonjudgmental, non-directive attitude has influenced the arts, the humanities, and even the social sciences. Recently, architecture and urban design have felt its impact, and professionals, impressed by upheavals in society and the arts, are beginning to look for new, more receptive ways of seeing the environment. Hopefully, through such confrontations, architects and urban designers will be inspired to develop a respectful understanding of society's cultural artifacts along with a strategy of planned development to suit the felt needs of its people.
