Nearly every work of architecture can be characterized by specific approaches to forming and centering. An awareness of these "underpinnings" would facilitate a more informed approach to architectural design problems, as well as a deeper understanding of the central issues (and flaws) embodied by completed works of architecture. But the addressing of such topics has generally remained multifarious and diverse: more in the nature of a collection of independent issues than an overarching analytical argument. In this book, fresh looks at such issues are assembled and recast into a fully integrated narrative, based on two foundational and complementary aspects of architectural design: those that give shape and those that give focus-forming and centering.

Architecture is an art form that provides both function and beauty. Each architect brings something uniquely distinct to his or her work.

Architectural Design and Construction Perfect scales for architectural design and construction Thinking and working in a variety of scales lies at the heart of architecture. What scale should be selected for which design decision? At what point is it sensible to change the scale? What can and ought to be depicted in a true-to-scale architectural drawing? And how can such a drawing remain clear and thus appealing? An architectural drawing is not least a means of communication. It contains pieces of information which are relevant for various recipients. The choice of the appropriate scale determines whether the client or the construction worker understand what is being conveyed. In view of the countless possibilities offered by CAD, the objective of clearly and unambiguously conveying one's own ideas is occasionally lost sight of. The authors, Ansgar Schulz and Benedikt Schulz, provide orientation with their book, exemplarily guiding the architectural drawing back to its original purpose: the creation of exceptional structures. Architektonisches Entwerfen und KonstruierenIdeale Maßstäbe für das architektonische Entwerfen und Konstruieren Das Denken und Arbeiten in unterschiedlichen Maßstäben gehört zum Kern der Architektur. Doch in welchem Maßstab muss welche Entwurfsentscheidung getroffen werden? Zu welchem Zeitpunkt ist es sinnvoll, den Maßstab zu wechseln? Was kann, was soll in einer maßstabsgerechten Architekturzeichnung dargestellt sein? Und wie gelingt es, dass diese Zeichnung übersichtlich, lesbar und dennoch einem ästhetischen Anspruch gerecht wird? Die Architekturzeichnung ist nicht zuletzt ein Mittel der Kommunikation. Sie enthält Informationen, die für unterschiedliche Adressaten relevant sind. Die Wahl des richtigen Maßstabs entscheidet darüber, ob der Bauherr oder der Handwerker versteht, was gemeint ist. Angesichts der zahllosen Möglichkeiten des CAD gerät das Ziel, eigene Ideen klar und eindeutig zu transportieren, bisweilen aus den Augen. Ansgar und Benedikt Schulz geben Orientierung und führen die Architekturzeichnung exemplarisch auf ihren ursprünglichen Zweck zurück: ausgezeichnete Bauwerke zu schaffen.
