This edited collection addresses the vital role of the
imagination in the critical interpretation of architectural
representations. By challenging the contemporary tendency for
computer-aided drawings to become mere models for imitation in the
construction of buildings, the articles explore the broader range
of methods and meanings at stake in the creation and interpretation
of architectural drawings, models, images and artefacts.
These 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. By also addressing the use of visual representation in
a number of related disciplines such as visual arts, film,
performance and literature, the book opens up debates in
architecture to important developments in other fields.
This book is key reading for all students of architecture and
architectural theory.
