中文简介：

本书介绍了皮埃尔·保罗·坦布雷利（Pier Paolo Tamburelli）开发的一套特殊课程，该课程是为维也纳技术大学的“基础课程”开发的，提出了关于建筑学基础和如何建造世界的新观点。这些观点是开放和创新的，并通过注释的草图展现出来。这本书是一个丰富的视觉资料来源，介绍了建筑学的基本概念并通过记录、绘画和联想等直观过程对此进行了深入探讨。坦布雷利的课程基于一系列辩证对立关系，包括屋顶/墙壁、庇护所/记忆和语言/行动。这些对立关系具有实验性和挑衅性，提供了一个框架，用来攀登建筑的方向。坦布雷利相信图像能够消除更为严谨的理论方法的束缚，拥抱笔记的灵活智慧，并享受隐秘信息的好奇心。本书包括八个完整的课程，提供了无数条通往、通过和围绕建筑的路线，为新人和专家提供了与一门千年学科的亲密接触，令人耳目一新。本书由作者介绍，并由哈佛大学研究生院建筑系主任马克·李（Mark Lee）撰写文本。

英文简介：

In this collection of idiosyncratic lessons, architect and teacher Pier Paolo Tamburelli engages with the very foundations of arch-itecture, proposing a series of new and open-ended perspectives on how we build the world. Developed for the 'Grundkurs', or 'basic course', at Vienna Technical University, Tamburelli's lessons are presented through the annotated sketches that form the basis of his lectures - variously rough and precise, sarcastic and sincere, and always uniquely expressive. This volume is a rich visual sourcebook of architectural ideas that form an accessible and discursive introduction to the discipline - one which pauses on the road to grand theories to learn from the intuitive processes of notetaking, drawing, and association. Tamburelli's lessons are based around a series of dialectic couples, including Roof/Wall, Shelter/Memory, and Language/Action. The pairs are experimental and often provocative, offering a framework to be used to climb in the direction of architecture. Tamburelli trusts in the capacity of images to suspend the restraints of more rigorous theoretical approaches, embraces the flexible wisdom of the note, and relishes the intrigue of the cryptic messages we leave for ourselves. Reproduced here in their entirety, these eight lessons offer countless routes towards, through, and around architecture, providing newcomers and experts alike with an intimate and refreshing encounter with a millennia-old discipline. With an introduction by the author and a text by Mark Lee, Chair of the Department of Architecture at Harvard Graduate School of Design
