N2  - Architecture titles are designed to provide visual arts students with a theoretical and practical exploration of each of the fundamental topics within the discipline of architecture. Packed with examples from students and professionals and fully illustrated with clear diagrams and inspiring imagery, they offer an essential exploration of the subject; Architectural Design explains the mysterious and little-discussed process of designing architectural projects. It sets architectural design education within its context by describing the design studio and explaining the activities that take place there. The realities of the design process and the relationship between education and practice are explored in detail. The book describes each stage of development, from concept through to completion. and includes interviews with leading architectural practices. Through discussion and case studies, Basics Architecture: Architectural Design allows you to develop a personal approach to architectural design, based on your own values, skills and preoccupations; Ethical practice is well known, taught and discussed in the domains of medicine, law, science and sociology but was, until recently, rarely discussed in terms of the Applied Visual Arts. Yet design is becoming an increasingly integral part of our everyday lives and its influence on our society ever-more prevalent; AVA Publishing believes that our world needs integrity; that the ramifications of our actions upon others should be for the greatest happiness and benefit of the greatest number. We do not set ourselves out as arbiters of what is�� good' or�� bad', but aim to promote discussion in an organised fashion for an individual's understanding of their own ethical inclination; By incorporating a 'working with ethics' section and cover stamp on all our titles, AVA Publishing aims to help a new generation of students, educators and practitioners find a methodology for structuring their thoughts and reflections in this vital area.--Book Jacket
