The way people live in their home can reveal va lues, habits, and worldview. The rise of suburbia in the present day has transformed the discipline of space planning and place making into a business of the hom e. This business has been reduced to cost and profits tradin g the art of dwelling for a product.
PAGE 3 The service the homebuilders are providing substitutes design for a customizable shell which can be painted or trimmed to the clients desire while wholly ignoring issues of occupation altogether.

The idea of craft or art is so far from what is taking plac e in present day that design is forfeited and the architect released with a used car salesman in his place. Wright writes about the shift he saw PAGE 4 taking place almost one hundred years ago when he gave the second of his two lectures on architecture to the Art Institute of Chicago in Wright speaks to the phasing out of craftsmen in the decades after the industrial revolution because there is doubt in some minds, fear in some minds, and hope in other minds, that architecture is shifting its circumference.
As the hod of mortar and some bricks give way to sheet metal, the lock seam, and the breaker as the work man gives way to the automatic machine so the architect seems to be giving way either to the engineer, the salesman, or the 91 Wright foreshadows the field of architecture today which is saturated by cost saving construction t echniques The architect is substituted for practitioners whose medium exists alongside the consumer.
It is not that their techniques or methods are limiting, rather the discipline as a whole is more quickly and commonly understood this giving allowing architecture to be viewed through the lens of criticism. PAGE 5 The discipline of architecture is critiqued by those in the building industry and those outside of it.
Critiques may be reviled or unrested by the range of questions the architect asks of the client, the site or landscape, and the light quality. The critic will dismiss these issues as arbitrary or even obtuse to the client, budget, and construct.

A series of plates show the "Orders of Architecture," Doric, Ionic, etc. Excellent lettering is shown all through the plates. Author : Frederick J. Author : Benjamin P. Emmons considers drawing practices in the Renaissance and up to the first half of the twentieth century. Combining systematic analysis across time with historical explication presents the development of hand-drawing, while also grounding early modern practices in their historical milieu.
By documenting some of the ways of thinking through practices of architectural handdrawing, it describes how practices can enrich the ethical imagination of the architect.
This book would be beneficial for academics, practitioners, and students of architecture, particularly those who are interested in the history and significance of hand-drawing and technical drawing. The discipline and profession of architecture is being reshaped in a moment where information, insight and predictions generated during the design process move into construction no longer essentially via drawings.
