It is also seen as the art of designing spaces, which we experience through movement and use. Conceptual ordering, spatial and social narrative are fundamental to the ways in which buildings are shaped, used and perceived. Examining and exploring the ways in which these three dimensions interact in the design and life of buildings, this intriguing book will be of use to anyone with an interest in the theory of architecture. 606 $aArchitecture$xComposition, proportion, etc 606 $aArchitecture and society 615 0$aArchitecture$xComposition, proportion, etc. 615 0$aArchitecture and society. 676 $a720 676 $a720.1 700 $aPsarra$b Sophia.$0763384 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816700503321 996 $aArchitecture and narrative$93969678 997 $aUNINA
