Architectural and Program Diagrams (Construction and Design Manual)

The title Architectural and Program Diagrams in the series

Construction and Design Manual brings together more than

600 pages from a predominantly international avant-garde

and offers an overview of the state of the art in architectural

representation across a spectrum extending from simple arrow

diagrams to sober graphs and highly elaborate, often somewhat

surreal collages and computer animations which trigger a wide

range of intellectual and emotional responses. Diagrams tell

stories. Those able to read them can follow the process by

which ideas and thoughts take visual shape, find aesthetic form

and, if all goes well, become part of the built environment.
