Architectural Diagrams 2 maps the diagram as a generative force in contemporary architectural thinking — not merely a communication tool but a creative medium operating at the intersection of geometry, art, and theory.
About This Book
The architectural diagram has shifted from explanatory shorthand to a constitutive instrument in the design process — intuitive, variable, and governed by its own internal logic. This second volume in the Construction and Design Manuals series assembles projects from prominent international practices, presenting their work through diagrams drawn from architecture, interior design, and installation. The selection reveals how analogue and digital procedures intersect in the transformation of typologies and spatial models. An accompanying essay by philosopher Lidia Gasperoni grounds the visual material in critical theory, making this a vital reference for architects and designers engaged with process-driven and diagrammatic design methodologies.
