Oddly enough – and perhaps because American authors like Francis Ching seem to hold the most sway, locally – in my many years as an architecture student, practitioner and teacher of architecture, I only heard of the book relatively recently.
This makes rare books like Simon Unwin’s Analysing Architecture that much more significant.įirst published in 1997, the book is currently on its fourth edition due to its reputation internationally as one of the best introductions to architecture. This is particularly true of architecture – an ancient discipline as old as civilization, itself, that has been the breeding ground for all sorts of theories and heated debates. At a time when increasing complexity seems to be the overriding direction in all fields, lucidly describing the fundamentals is becoming increasingly difficult.
