Item Description

8vo. 9.5 x 6.5 inches. xi + [i] + 274 pp. In pictorial stiff card wrapper. A little wear to extremities including wrapper edges; otherwise a very good copy. Illustrated in colour and black and white. Some headings in red. Collage and Architecture is the first book to cover collage as a tool for design in architecture. Jennifer Shields, practising architect and academic, uses the artworks and built projects of leading artists and architects, such as Le Corbusier, Daniel Libeskind, and Teddy Cruz to illustrate the diversity of collage techniques. The six case study projects from Mexico, Argentina, Sweden, Norway, the United States, and Spain provide a global perspective of architecture as collage which is an important instrument for analysis and design (adapted from Library Hub entry).
