内容説明
The genius of Cecil Balmond is behind some of the world's most exciting architectural endeavours, from Anish Kapoor's gigantic sculpture Marsyas at Tate Modern to Rem Koolhaas' CCTV buildings in Beijing. Balmond is the great innovator of form and following the success of his book "Informal", now examines nature and its patterns. He looks through drawing and composition at a perception of space that has interconnected narratives. "Element" uses pattern, mathematics and advanced geometry to create an unconventional exploration of design. Balmond's narrative unfolds in three conceptual chapters - elements, pattern, nature - linked by two conceptual bridges - digital 'tectonics' and numbers. Each of these aspects relates to the others in a number of ways, leading to an invaluable insight into the design process, a highly engrossing journey through the world around us from the natural elements to the most advanced building designs.

disappointed
2008/4/27
形式:ハードカバー
I really enjoyed Balmond's previous book, "Informal", so I bought this one right away.
But instead of a inspired engineer sharing his knowledge about complex design, here you can find drawings on photographs of beautiful landscapes (searching for patterns) and his "poetic" thoughts on nature.
I have to say that this book is beautiful and well designed, but is not challenging intellectually like I hoped. If you're interested in architecture, stick to "Informal", way better than this one.

Quite appalling Re-Hashed Previously used images with generic poetic meanderings
2008/9/23
形式:ハードカバー
Having read Informal I had high hopes for this book. I admire Balmonds' open mindedness, creativity and presentation. However, this book strongly disappointed - To put it frankly, it sucked. Pages and pages of health insurance style advertising images of nature, generic poetic meanderings with barely any relevance and certainly little to learn from. Not that I am necessarily against poetics but there wasn't much attention paid to how the reader would experience pages and pages of a mediorcre image library. Eventuallly in the last third of the book there are some Balmond work related images but most have been rehashed from previous publications or semi-relevant screen captures from semi-relevant, unexplained models. Basically this book is not worth reading, certainly not worth buying in my opinion.

Simple precursors to design modelling
2008/6/21
形式:ハードカバー
The book was a surprise. As stated by other reviewers it has a hightened sense of graphic representation, with overlay line and pattern making searching out patterns in specifically chosen natural landscapes... It was this back to a base principle that was the interesting part. Basic yes. Fundamental yes. It leaves you with more a 'taught to fish' rather than 'given the fish' approach - which can be most infuriating when wishing to have a straight and direct answer. It a book that with a mind emptied of immediate questions will delight both mentally and aesthetically. I recommended this text for the simplicity of underlying basics that leads to the more complex.
