"Architectural details are typically communicated through technical drawings, and from such drawings details are archived, revised, and appropriated. This book presents case studies of the technical constitution and construction of thirteen exemplary buildings realised in seven countries over the past fifteen years. Through an investigative matrix of scaled drawings and analytical texts, the fundamental importance of the detail is discovered afresh, giving insight into the technical complexities behind the often dynamic simplicity of the buildings final form. Including interviews with Zaha Hadid, Eric Owen Moss, Kazuyo Sejima, Thom Mayne, Ada Tolla, Steven Holl, Carme Pinós, [Lebbeus Woods, Peter Cook, Peter Zumthor, Neil M. Denari, Charles Renfro, Giuseppe Lignano]" -- Publicaciones Arquitectura y Arte This is a remarkably elegant orthographic work which is at the same time the result of a unique program of meticulous research into the technical constitution and construction of thirteen outstanding modern buildings realized in seven countries over the past fifteen years. What is audaciously effective is the way in which the author synthesizes on the same page, precise analytical drawings of the detailed construction involved with a photographic image of the result, compelling the reader to come to terms with the unavoidable gap between the technical complexity of the means and the often dynamic simplicity of the final form. All of which makes this into a uniquely didactic study which should prove to be equally useful for students and practitioners alike. --Kenneth Frampton; Columbia University GSAPP, Ware Professor of ArchitectureWhere a design concept meets material construction, the detail emerges its importance parallel to its aspiration. This book is a source of inspiration, for students, architects, engineers, when asked both why and how. --Julie Janiski; Buro Happold, Sustainability and High Performance Design Leader
