Dictionary of Landscape Architecture & Construction


Dictionary of Landscape Architecture & Construction

In an industry that involves the skills, expertise, and labor of a wide-range of professionals and workers, good communications become crucial, and a common vocabulary is key to successful projects. Many of the terms used in landscape architecture, land planning, environmental planning, and landscape construction are unavailable, or so new, or industry-specific that they can’t be found in conventional dictionaries. This unique resource delivers definitions as well as how-to information via details and photos, going above and beyond the scope of a typical professional dictionary. With straightforward definitions and clear illustrations on each page, everyone from architects, designers, and contractors through grounds maintenance workers will benefit from this important resource. In addition, an appendix with labeled construction details will illustrate not just what a term means, but also how it’s applied in the profession.

Alan Jay Christensen

In an industry that involves the skills, expertise, and labor of a wide-range of professionals and workers, good communications become crucial, and a common vocabulary is key to successful projects. Many of the terms used in landscape architecture, land planning, environmental planning, and landscape construction are unavailable, or so new, or industry-specific that they can’t be found in conventional dictionaries.

ARCHISPEAK : An illustrated guide to architectural terms


ARCHISPEAK : An illustrated guide to architectural terms
TOM PORTER

Widely used in architectural circles in the heat of discussion, the recurrent use of particular words and terms has evolved into a language of design jargon. Commonly found in architectural literature and journalism, in critical design debate and especially in student project reviews, Archispeak can seem insular and perplexing to others and -- particularly to the new architectural student -- often incomprehensible.

There is a need to translate architectural design concepts into spoken and written commentary -- each word in use embodying a precise and universally accepted architectural meaning. If we explore the vocabulary of this language we gain insight into good design practice and into collective understanding of what constitutes a refined architecture. This unique illustrated guide will help students understand the nuances of this specialized language and help them in communicating their own design ideas.

LEXIQUE D'ARCHITECTURE ILLUSTRE




LEXIQUE D'ARCHITECTURE ILLUSTRE
Auteur : KOUICI L - Éditeur OPU Édition
معجم الهندسة المعمارية مع الرسومات


Ce lexique comprend les termes (et leurs définitions) propres au bâtiment, ses constituants et son environnement, dans les deux langues; l’arabe et le français. Les définitions ont été données dans le soucis de mieux cerner le sens recouvert par chacun des termes et par là permettre un usage plus juste de ce dernier.

Le lexique est structuré de manière à offrir la possibilité d’être consulté selon quatre voies différentes:

1. L’ordre alphabétique des termes français suivis de leurs définitions, en face de chacun d’eux se trouve le terme correspondant en langue arabe ainsi que sa définition.

2. L’ordre thématique où les termes sont regroupés selon plusieurs rubriques dont chacune est constituée en fonction de la proximité du sens ou de l’appartenance à un même thème en architecture.

3. L’ordre alphabétique des termes arabes jumelés avec leurs correspondants en français.

4. Les illustrations qui comportent les termes qui les désignent dans les deux langues.

Les domaines recouverts par La terminologie sont: Le chantier · La construction · Les matériaux de construction · Les types de bâtiments · Les espaces intérieurs · Les espaces extérieurs ·L’histoire de l’architecture · La ville · Les arts · La représentation.

Dictionary of Architecture and Construction


Dictionary of Architecture and Construction

This book is the most complete I have ever come across, and extremely easy to use. The illustrations (2500) and terms (26000) are well-described and easy to use, yet concise. As a Project Manager for a General Contractor, I find this book extremely handy in the construction world.

Working with an Architect on a daily basis, I find myself using it several times per day sometimes. You can never learn every term in architecture and construction, but this book will help you learn those unfamiliar words we come across every single day in construction and architecture.
