Specifikacia Architecture as Art
Architecture as Art: The Work of Stephen M. Sullivan illustrates the author's residential architectural practice based in the Pacific Northwest. It also describes his personal design philosophy founded both in the classics of western architecture and in his experience and appreciation of the architecture and craft traditions of Japan.The book tells the story of Sullivan's development as an artist using architecture as his medium. It includes essays on his views of architectural design, which have been shaped by his personal history in the landscapes and the architecture of New England and Japan. Sullivan's training as a potter informs his architecture in its interpretation of houses as "vessels of experience" and in his work's focus on materiality and the craft of construction.Thematic essays address topics such as the importance of intuition in the design process
