The Portfolio and the Diagram: Architecture, Discourse, and Modernity in America

By Hyungmin Pai

Book Overview

This volume is about the changing ways architects see, read, and use the words and images of architectural publications. Architects do not use the glossy photographs of magazines in the same way that 19th-century architects mobilized the drawings in the grand folios. The images have changed, and so have the ways in which they are used.
