Architectural Diagrams 2 Construction and Design Manual Gebunden

In the last few decades the 'diagram' has evolved into a constitutive generative medium for the architectural design process and is now an everyday term used in the context of design. The diagram repre-sents an imaginative process that enables architects to transform typologies figures and models using analogue and dig-ital design procedures. This process is creative and erratic - it is highly intuitive and variable and follows its own logic. As such the diagram with its lines points and strokes operates at the intersection of ge-ometry art and theory. (from the introduction). The s econd edition of this book from the series Construction and Design Manuals presents a selection of projects by prominent architects and designers in the form of diagrams drawn from the fields of architecture interior design and installation. This volume also features an essay by the philosopher Lidia Gasperoni.
