Summary:
Large-size working drawings are the foundation of any architectural process and 'key' to practical construction of a building, yet very little has been written and published about the architect's quintessential tool. This new book bridges this gap, as it draws on a vast collection of working drawings from many centuries, held by the Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich. This is a collection of plans for a wide range of architectural projects and features many representational techniques. Providing a comprehensive record, around a hundred of the collection's highlights through five centuries, are arranged by category allowing for direct comparison. All plans are depicted entirely in colour on large-size spreads and fold-outs. Full catalogue details are provided for each drawing. Various topics are covered in essays by expert authors, which compliment the images. Featured architects include respected names such as Francesco Borromini, Gottfried Semper, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Le Corbusier, Eero Saarinen, Jorn Utzon, Alvaro Siza, Rafael Moneo, Herzog & de Meuron, Peter Zumthor, Diller Scofidio or Caruso St. John.

Summary:
No architectural category is more fickle or more artificial than 'context'. This collection of 60 large drawings produced over five years by AA Diploma 15 addresses the construction of context by architecture for its own very particular purposes. A self-declared 'render-free zone', the unit's interrogations of architecture's seminal sites (antiquity, technology, the future and its proxies) examine the role of figuration and the exclusion of indeterminacy in the always already mediated question of context. Through the quiet business of counting, these line drawings - against the double ascendancy of parametricisation and the glossy rendered perspective - question architecture's ambivalent relations to the artifice it installs between itself and the outside world.

Il analyse avec une grande finesse les icônes, qui génèrent une multitude de points de vue, au diapason avec la pensée qu’elles véhiculent. Daté de 1919, cet exposé est contemporain des recherches plastiques de Malevitch. L’on tient là non seulement un texte précurseur de maintes recherches théoriques mais aussi un plaidoyer éminemment pédagogique en faveur d’un art ouvert à la vision subjective du spectateur.

Summary:
Immediate and constructive, the physicality of hand drawing, upon which representation formats are based, is a necessary skill needed to communicate ideas in the field of architectural design. Drawing for Architects provides a technique-based, progression of drawing types and instructions teaching core drawing principles needed to connect drawing with architectural design. Architect and author Julia McMorrough outlines issues around each of the types of drawing, showing that the conversations of plan, section, elevation, axonometric, and perspective each have a relation to the kind of design information that drawing makes possible to express. Drawing for Architects explains both the technical and disciplinary importance of drawing and how to enable design creativity and application through its practiced use.

Summary:
Enseignant dans une école d’architecture, Jean-Louis Brahem a choisi de capter la curiosité et l’intérêt de ses élèves en traitant de cas concrets vécus par des personnages réels. Pour comprendre les sciences de la représentation – comment se représentent le sol, les édifices et les objets –, l’auteur a choisi de leur parler d’Antonin Terminal, fils d’un cheminot et dont la mère tient l’Hôtel Restaurant de la Gare, dans un petit village de Lorraine, dans les années qui précèdent la Première Guerre mondiale. Dès l’école, Antonin apprend les moyens de représenter le sol, les maisons et les outils. Dessinateur à la fonderie de son village, il trace et fait comprendre des moules complexes et des engrenages pour les chemins de fer. Sa rencontre avec un peintre de talent lui apportera une connaissance des techniques de représentation les plus sophistiquées. Il dessinera la future gare de son village, qui sera détruite par la guerre quelques années après avoir été construite. Enfin, lors d’une journée dramatique, il dessinera les ruines de son village…
