Identifying four primary categories of representational logics - point, line, surface, mass - each category is illustrated through four precedent projects that deploy iterative material sensibilities. As a collection, this text provides a comprehensive categorization of the architectural design process.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThrough the comprehensive definition of categorical typologies, it illustrates the collective capability of this conceptual methodology. By unpacking projects through their specific design devices, the collective analysis reveals the impact of material techniques and methods of representation as a generative tool. Broad in scope, it identifies and uniformly analyses some of the most significant projects from the last century, including: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUK Pavilion Shanghai - Heatherwick Studio, Shanghai, China\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGatehouse - Office dA, Beijing, China\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMaison Colonial - Jean Prouve, France\/Africa\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ede Young Museum - Herzog and de Meuron, California USA\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMontreal Expo 67 - Buckminster Fuller, Montreal, Canada\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eJean Marie Tjibou Cultural Center - RPBW, Noumea, Indonesia\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHouse III - Peter Eisenman, New York, USA\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBarcelona Pavilion - Mies van der Rohe, Barcelona, Spain\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTel Aviv - Scott Cohen, Tel Aviv, Israel\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLos Manantiales - Felix Candella, Mexico City, Mexico\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eYokahama Terminal - FOA, Yokahama, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePantheon, Rome, Italy\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eTres Grand Bibliotheque - Rem Koolhaas, OMA, Paris, France\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBrother Claus Field Chapel - Peter Zumthor, Switzerland\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmbryonic House- Greg Lynn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eRichly illustrated with consistent, clear and precise line drawings, the book presents a series of iconic precedents through a unique analytical and graphic sensibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gail Peter Borden\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415522641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415522649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.70h x 8.40w x 0.90d","brand":"Gail Peter Borden","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443462811903,"sku":"9780415522649","price":81.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_48e1d909-bba3-4a91-a575-7f54f02be1fc.jpg?v=1777205697","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/process-gail-peter-borden-9780415522649","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
