Artists' Impressions in Architectural Design
Editorial Reviews Book Description
People have always been fascinated with how an intended building will look. Clearly, architects' clients will have a vested interest in seeing impressions of their buildings before construction begins. However, members of the public have always expressed a desire to find out what is proposed for their town, village or city. In addition, artists' impressions have been extensively used to gain support for building projects in terms of publicity and fund raising; and as illustrations for articles about the construction industry and the history of architecture. Understanding how buildings are envisioned is central to people's view of architectural design. Artists' Impressions in Architectural Design looks at the the ways in which architects have represented their designs for clients and the public, both historically and contemporarily. It covers the period from the 15th to the 21st century. Featuring some of the best known buildings by the best known architects; this book places the exciting technological development of today in context with the rich historical heritage of the past.
