Tuberculosis and Veterans' Medical Centers by DIANE Publishing Company PDF Summary

Book Description: Drawing on an incomparable collection of architectural drawings and prints,photographs, books, and periodicals, Architecture and Its Image explores the idea of serial imageryin architectural representation through works dating from the Renaissance to today.Although drawingsand photographs of architecture are often viewed as single images, they are generally produced inseries. The most basic of these is the set of drawings that shows a building in plan, elevation, andsection. But as Architecture and Its Image reveals, the concept can be extended to other types ofarchitectural representations: theater sets, travel accounts, photographic surveys, pattern books,even the alternative designs submitted for competition. All relate in different ways to theirsubjects; viewed in series, all reveal underlying principles of organization that can convey newunderstanding of architectural imagery.Under the headings Architecture in Three Dimensions,Architecture in Place and Time, and Architecture in Process, essays by six scholars use the conceptof serial imagery to explore the complex relationship between various types of architecturalrepresentations and their subject matter: projective drawings (Robin Evans), 19th-century urbansurvey photography (Eve Blau), the travel narratives of English architectural "explorers" from themid-18th to the mid-19th century (Edward Kaufman), festival and theater architecture (WilliamAlexander McClung), architectural publications, competitions, and exhibitions (Helene Lipstadt), andcomputer graphics (Robert Bruegmann).An accompanying catalog describes 350 examples, drawn from theCCA collections, of work by architects and architectural delineators, photographers, andcartographers. The book is illustrated by over 400 superbly reproduced duotone illustrations and 16pages of color.Eve Blau is Curator of Exhibitions and Publications at the CCA. Edward Kaufman isAssistant Professor in the School of Architecture at Columbia University.Architecture and Its Imageis a publication of the Centre Canadien d'Architecture/Canadian Centre for Architecture, MontrealDistributed by The MIT Press.
