Summary:

"Two Journeys is the first comprehensive monograph on the work of Michael Webb, an artist and trained architect, who operates at the intersection of the two disciplines. The publication assembles sixty years of Webb's work into a continuously evolving narrative about the multifaceted relationships among the built environment, landscape, and moving vehicles... The book features nearly 200 drawings: artistic works rooted in analytical thinking and structured around architectural elements and notational systems. Includes essays by Kenneth Frampton and Mark Wigley, amongst others, whose critical perspective alongside texts and commentaries by Webb shed light on an extraordinary body of work"--Publisher's description.
