Description

This ground-breaking quarterly aims to act as an international forum for practitioners and academics by publishing cutting-edge work covering all aspects of architectural endeavour. Generously illustrated throughout, Architectural Research Quarterly is edited with busy practitioners and academics in mind. Contents include building design, urbanism, history, theory, environmental design, construction, materials, information technology, and practice. Reviews of significant buildings are published at a length and in a detail matched today by few other architectural journals. Articles in arq 8:1 include: Research, knowledge and collaboration. Dilemmas of the PFI; Primitive; Layers of practice, theory and experience at East Lodge; Lessons at the roadside; A primitive Exchange: on rhetoric and architectural symbol; Baptism and sacrifice: cosmogony as private ontology; White space in northern light: two churches analysed; Other people's places; Book reviews.
