Proportions and Cognition in Architecture and Urban Design
Measure, Relation, Analogy
Hrsg. Andri Gerber, Tibor Joanelly und Oya Atalay Franck
Sofort lieferbar. Erschienen Februar 2020
In Proportions and Cognition in Architecture and Urban Design, practicing architects, historians, and theoreticians discuss the proportional systems that juxtapose aesthetic judgements, forms of practice, and human and social bodies with the norms and ideals that have resulted from these relationships. They retrace the history of these proportional systems, the expectations with which they were associated, how they were introduced into design, and how contemporary practice builds upon this tradition—or allows new interpretations to unfold.
Since antiquity, proportional systems have been used as a foundation for design. They have also served to incorporate universal systems into architecture, aiming to sustain the discipline. Even if they were abandoned in the wake of the enlightenment, these systems survived, resurfacing prominently from time to time: for example in Le Corbusier’s Modulor. Nevertheless,publications on new buildings rarely fail to reference purported “good” or “bad” proportions.
