Notations: Diagrams & Sequences

Summary

For Bernard Tschumi, drawing is thinking and being with a piece of paper and a pen does not feel like working. It can be sheer bliss , he writes, seeing thought materialise itself in front of your eyes through the almost unconscious mediation of your hand. It is a form of notation of the mind. This collection of previously unpublished drawings, diagrams, and other remnants of the architectural process provides new insight into well-known projects like the Parc de la villette and the New Acropolis Museum, as well as tracing a number of unbuilt pr oposals and speculations. Notations (Diagrams & Sequences) offers a unique view into the working process of Bernard Tschumi and his office.
