The Diagrams of Architecture
320pp, illustrated throughout with black and white and colour drawings and photographs. Pictorial light card covers. 8vo. Very light chipping to lower edges. Internally a very neat, clean, bright and tight volume. Since the 1980s, the diagram has become a preferred method for researching, communicating, theorising and making architectural designs, ideas and projects. Thus the rise of diagram, as opposed to the model or drawing, is one of the most significant new developments in the process of design in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
