title: The Architecture Pack : A Unique, Three-Dimensional Tour of Architecture over the Centuries : What Architects Do, How They Do It
author:  Ron Van Der Meer 
description: A work of art in itself, <i>The Architecture Pack</i> is a highly sophisticated version of the beloved pop-up book that offers a unique, cross-cultural, three-dimensional tour of architecture through the centuries. By flipping the elaborately engineered pages, we learn what architects do, how they do it, and all about the great buildings of the world from antiquity to the present. It's packed with information and hands-on activities, models, fold-outs, pop-ups, and 3-D glasses; readers can even fold out a miniature version of the Colosseum in Rome or a French Gothic cathedral. There are discussions on the development of the dome, new materials and shapes, sculptural buildings such as those of <a href="/exec/obidos/Subject=Gaudi/${0}">Gaudi</a> and <a href="/exec/obidos/Subject=Le%20Corbusier/${0}">Le Corbusier</a>, and skyscrapers. Also included in the pack are a model (with assembly instructions) of Gerrit Rietveld's famous, flat-roofed Schroeder House; a glossary of architectural terms; a fold-out time line of the history of architecture and architects that runs from 2670 B.C. to A.D. 1997; and a cassette tape. This wonderfully accessible introduction to architecture is sure to generate enthusiasm from both children and adults, simply because people can have fun with it.

  Architects have often looked to philosophers and theorists from beyond the
  discipline for design inspiration or in search of a critical framework for practice.
  This original series offers quick, clear introductions to key thinkers who have
  written about architecture and whose work can yield insights for designers.
