JA 54, Summer 2004 Space in Detail IV

Content

This edition of JA 54 examines detail works of architecture, with architect’s esquisses, drawings and photographs.
In creating space, architecture can be said as a procedure of combing numerous materials. Space does not just emerge out of blue. Architects, through their continuous efforts, attempt to deduct certain appropriate proportion of applied materials.
