Description and Table of Contents
Description
This volume features frame-by-frame descriptions of an architectural inquest, represented as a series of drawings called "transcripts". This edition features further text and "transcripts". These drawings are neither real projects nor mere fantasies. They propose to transcribe things normally removed from conventional architectural representation, namely the complex relationship between spaces and the set and the script, between "type" and "programme", and between objects and events.
