Description

As a challenge to the tendency of computer-aided renderings to become mere ‘models’ for imitation in the construction of buildings, the papers included in this book explore the broader range of meanings and methods involved in the creation and interpretation of architectural drawings, images and artefacts. A series of critical – and often practice-led – investigations are placed alongside a range of historical studies considering the development of representational techniques such as perspective, orthography and diagramming. The book also opens up debates in architecture to important developments in a number of related disciplines such as visual arts, film, performance and literature.

Bringing together the work of leading architectural academics from around the world – including Marco Frascari, Alberto Pérez-Gómez, Richard Coyne, Nicholas Temple, Donald Kunze, Jonathan Hill and Jane Rendell – the book will provide a key reference point for students of architecture and architectural theory, and will also be of interest to anyone investigating or researching the history, theory and practice of architectural representation.
