Reflecting ideas ranging from humanity's diverse cultural history to contemporary society and a future world that is conscious of its place in the cosmos, CTRLZAK's projects draw on tradition and cultural contexts to create a new hybrid future by learning continuously from the past. As a hybrid studio integrating diverse disciplines and cultures, CTRLZAK creates artworks, objects and spaces inspired by the natural world as well as the global experiences and rich cultural backgrounds of its founders. Above all, the studio crafts points of reflection where form follows meaning. Form Follows Meaning explores CTRLZAK's work from its inception in 2009--when it was founded by artists and designers Katia Meneghini and Thanos Zakopoulos--to the present day. Featuring a selection of the studio's projects, Form Follows Meaning goes beyond aesthetics and functionality to present creative work that is striking and meaningful. CTRLZAK's creations have been extensively exhibited in galleries around the world and have been selected by museums and institutions including MoMA, the Louvre and the Venice Art Biennale.

A superb visual reference to the principles of architecture Now including interactive CD-ROM! For more than thirty years, the beautifully illustrated Architecture: Form, Space, and Order has been the classic introduction to the basic vocabulary of architectural design. The updated Third Edition features expanded sections on circulation, light, views, and site context, along with new considerations of environmental factors, building codes, and contemporary examples of form, space, and order. This classic visual reference helps both students and practicing architects understand the basic vocabulary of architectural design by examining how form and space are ordered in the built environment.? Using his trademark meticulous drawing, Professor Ching shows the relationship between fundamental elements of architecture through the ages and across cultural boundaries. By looking at these seminal ideas, Architecture: Form, Space, and Order encourages the reader to look critically at the built environment and promotes a more evocative understanding of architecture. In addition to updates to content and many of the illustrations, this new edition includes a companion CD-ROM that brings the book's architectural concepts to life through three-dimensional models and animations created by Professor Ching.
