Description
A groundbreaking and interdisciplinary work on architectural collage.
Design Strategies in Architecture collects wide-ranging reflections on the use of architectural collage, which has become a popular way of sharing a project’s design because collages can be faster and more approachable than traditional detailed renderings. This book brings together contributions from architectural historians, theoreticians, and architects to look at the role of collage. The essays gathered here reconstruct the role of representation in the evolution of architecture and offer a large selection of relevant case studies in the use of collage, incorporating critical historical analysis of the technical aspects and significance of the case studies within their cultural and political contexts. Together they also provide a critical and historical framework for architectural offices engaged in research related to representation. Groundbreaking and thought-provoking Design Strategies in Architecture is vital reading for understanding architectural collage.
