520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. Any well-designed building must be successful on three levels: in relation to user needs, in relation to other buildings, and in terms of inherent design and construction principles. The architect faces the daunting task of applying sensible design criteria to create a building that resolves often conflicting user and environmental objectives, within the given constraints of current engineering and construction technology. Often, particularly in recent modern archi-tecture, these goals do not mesh: design elements are applied inappropriately, without regard to their original intent or function, resulting in buildings that are unsuccessful at any level.<br/>Idea, Form, and Architecture, drawing on architectural traditions from Vitruvius to Le Corbusier, proposes a set of theoretical architectural principles that can be practically applied to contemporary buildings. These principles enable a building to be analyzed at a variety of scales. Included are extended analyses and illustrations of successful architectural solutions that apply these principles, from the work of nine internationally recognized contemporary architects:<br/>* Piet Blom<br/>* Herman Hertzberger<br/>* Hans Hollein<br/>* Arata Isozaki<br/>* Louis Kahn<br/>* Charles Moore<br/>* Aldo Rossi<br/>* Oswald Matthias Ungers<br/>* Robert Venturi<br/>Unique to this volume is Schirmbeck's method of diagrammatic analysis, which abstractly illustrates the design principles discussed. This system allows you to analyze the application of principles not only in the work shown, but in any modern structure. These diagrams are also used to show how rational, symbolic, and psychological principles are applied to determine the overall form of the building.
