This book is already being used for courses in architecture schools.
"In a sane world, Prof. Salingaros would be sitting on architecture-prize and architecture-school boards, and would be fending off all-too-frequent requests from major magazines and newspapers for his opinion, insights and judgment." -- Michael Blowhard.
This book presents some ideas I have explored in trying to discover the basis for architectural design. The search has led me to apply science and mathematics to architecture, which has proved remarkably fruitful in establishing new and useful results. Most architects know of the historical application of ancient mathematics such as proportional ratios -- yet it is not this type of mathematics that actually governs general architectural form. Rather, it is the more recently developed mathematics of fractals, information theory, and complexity. I have presented these results in the most simplified manner possible, to be useful to practicing architects as well as to students with very modest mathematical skills.
Each book chapter consists of one of my published papers in architecture. This collection of research articles can be used as a textbook for architectural design, or as supplementary material. Individual chapters have indeed been used in this manner in many schools since their initial publication. Their main message is that architecture should be based on principles that stand scientific scrutiny and experimental test. I present new results, so no similar treatment of the principles underlying architectural design exists at the present time. My own architectural formation is due to my long involvement with Christopher Alexander in helping him to edit The Nature of Order, so, naturally, my work is profoundly influenced by his.

内容简介 · · · · · ·
本书的作者是一位科学大师，对建筑有着独到的见解。他在书中以浅显易懂的语言向 读者娓娓讲述了什么才是建筑真正的精髓所在。本书共分12章，各章之间均存在着严密的逻辑关系。在建筑的科学视角部分，本书从数学和物理科学的角度提出了 建筑生成应遵循的法则。对于建筑中的“装饰”这一古老而经典的话题，则从科学和感官的角度论证了其存在的价值，体现出全新的研究方法。在建筑的视觉模式部 分，本书将建筑的话题拉回到形式语言上，系统化地阐述了尺度、对比、层级、对称、秩序等建筑的基本问题，总结出了可用于指导建筑实践的规律法则。在对当代 建筑进行批判的基础上，本书主张建筑设计应当回归人性化，强调人对于空间场所的感悟，强调城市中的建筑生成法则应该与视知觉、神经生物学、实验心理学规范 的人类需求想符合。目录
