Construction and Design Manual : Architectural Diagrams 3:52 PM
DOM publishers has released 'Construction and Design Manual: Architectural Diagrams', a book that brings together more than 1500 architectural diagrams from leading avant-garde studios including BIG, UNstudio and JDS architects.
Similar to comic strips and graphic novels, diagrams have become a visual medium of communication in architecture that spans linguistic and cultural boundaries. today, these diagrams have become more than an aid or means of explanation but an art form in their own. In two volumes the illustrated book offers an overview of architectural representations, ranging from simple arrow diagrams to utilitarian graphs and highly developed and elaborate collages and computer animations.

A manifesto of architecture as seen by the Copenhagen-based group BIG, told in comic book form. In recent years, Danish architects have impressively renewed and expanded architectonic language. By staging the exhibition, 'YES IS MORE', the Danish Architecture Centre (DAC) zooms in on one of Danish architecture's most successful and innovative architectural companies, BIG – BJARKE INGELS GROUP.
This exhibition forms part of a pilot project called 'Close up', which through exhibitions, debates, seminars and teaching sessions takes a long, hard look at new tendencies, theories and challenges within Danish architecture.
