I am a M.arch 1 student and spent the first semester. It was chanllenging but at the same time whole interesting. now during the break, I really like to know and learn something about architects( their works, what architecture is.... seriously) by myself. Since I just started this architecture program, I like to look at some good architects' work and analyze them in my own ways - I think it's the best way for self studyt about architecture. - Please add some more if there are better ways.
Anyway, I am here to ask you guys about your favorite architects and why you like them(also why you like their certain projects etc..)
I think I like to see El Croquis for some architects and study them .
Is that good way??
Please help me out for this self study during the short break.
Thanks alot.
Sure, El Croquis are a good introduction. If I had one to pick, I would recommend the latest with Herzog and De Meuron. They are kicking some ass these days.
Where are you studying? What interests you? With 7 entries and 0 comments we would like to know more...
In my opinion you can not analyze anyone if you don't have a solid base of history of architecture from old grece to international style.
It will give you the bases, the social to political to geographical knowledge you need to analyze a work done by anyone.
good starting books are:
A History of Western Architecture by David Watkin
Modern Architecture Since 1900 by William Curtis
Modern Architecture: A Critical History by Kenneth Frampton
after you know the bases El croquis, l'Arca, Domus, Casabella are goof arch magazine with good examples and good editorials.
serious question after I spent the first semester

yeah, learn the basics first. You need to know where it all came from to appreciate what's out there now.
