Examples of Drawings and Diagrams

Lebbeus Woods, Architect by Jennifer Dunlop Fletcher; Joseph Becker; Brett Littman
Lebbeus Woods, Architect brings together drawings from the past 40 years by one of the most influential designers working in architecture. Woods worked cyclically, returning often to themes of architecture's ability to transform, resist and free the collective and the individual. As an architect whose work lies almost solely in the realm of the proposed and the unbuilt, his contributions to the field opened up new avenues for exploring and inscribing space.
Phylogenesis by Foreign Office Foreign Office Architects
Through a series of competitions, speculative commissions, and built work, FOA's first monograph is structured to reflect the development of their specific attitude and as a compendium of the technical arsenal that they use to within their practice. With the spirit of scientific classification, the genesis of an architectural project is identified within a series of phylum, actualized and simultaneously virtualized, in their specific application to the unique conditions of a project's location.
Points and Lines by Stan Allen
Points + Lines: Diagrams and Projects for the City is a book of New York architect Stan Allen's writings and projects that propose new architectural strategies for the contemporary city. Organized in the form of a user's manual, it juxtaposes speculative texts outlining Allen's general principles with specific projects created by his office.
