Architectural Diagrams
Construction and Design Manual
By Pyo Mi Young

Diagram is one of the most used words in contemporary architecture and urban design. Today, architectural diagrams are no longer mere aids to explaining a design or reducing an idea to a simple outline, but have emerged as an art form of their own among the creative skills related to planning and building.
Rem Koolhaas perfected the diagram as an unconventional method of presenting designs and ideas, and the next generation of celebrated international architects went on refining it. Similar to comic strips or graphic novels, diagrams are a visual medium of communication. This makes them easy to understand even across linguistic and cultural boundaries and an ideal method of communicating ideas to clients.

The book Architectural Diagrams in the series Construction and Design Manuals brings together more than 1500 diagrams in two volumes. It offers an overview of the state of the art in architectural representation across a spectrum extending from simple arrow diagrams to sober graphs and highly elaborate, often somewhat surreal collages and computer animations which trigger a wide range of intellectual and emotional responses. Some diagrams even seem to meld with classic representational techniques such as drawings, models, or renderings.
