This book examines the interrelationship of representational methods and material systems as fundamental drivers of the design process. Identifying four primary categories of representational logics - point; line; surface; mass - each category is illustrated through four precedent projects that deploy iterative material sensibilities. As a collection; this text provides a comprehensive categorization of the architectural design process.Through the comprehensive definition of categorical typologies; it illustrates the collective capability of this conceptual methodology. By unpacking projects through their specific design devices; the collective analysis reveals the impact of material techniques and methods of representation as a generative tool. Broad in scope; it identifies and uniformly analyses some of the most significant projects from the last century; including:UK Pavilion Shanghai - Heatherwick Studio; Shanghai;ChinaGatehouse - Office dA; Beijing; ChinaMaison Colonial - Jean Prouve; France/Africade Young Museum - Herzog and de Meuron; California USAMontreal Expo 67 - Buckminster Fuller; Montreal; CanadaJean Marie Tjibou Cultural Center ndash; RPBW; Noumea; IndonesiaHouse III - Peter Eisenman; New York; USABarcelona Pavilion - Mies van der Rohe; Barcelona; SpainTel Aviv - Scott Cohen; Tel Aviv; IsraelLos Manantiales - Felix Candella; Mexico City; MexicoYokahama Terminal ndash; FOA; Yokahama; JapanPantheon; Rome; ItalyTres Grand Bibliotheque - Rem Koolhaas; OMA; Paris; FranceBrother Claus Field Chapel - Peter Zumthor; SwitzerlandEmbryonic House- Greg LynnRichly illustrated with consistent; clear and precise line drawings; the book presents a series of iconic precedents through a unique analytical and graphic sensibility.
