Experience an inspiring journey back to beauty in architecture with this extraordinary coffee table book. The central question is: When was the last time a building truly amazed you? At a time when innovation is often prioritized over lasting beauty and human values, this book takes a conscious counterpoint with its “Human Architecture” design philosophy. Classic principles such as symmetry, proportion, repetition, hierarchy, materiality, and the emotive are brought back into focus. The photographs in this illustrated book take you on a journey through different eras, styles, and cultures. Using impressive case studies and numerous projects from the practice of the renowned architectural firm Audax, the book shows how timeless design principles can be applied today. Impressive photographs, vivid sketches, and understandable diagrams bring the content to life and make it practical.
