architecture the object of lines 1970 1990 by jordan kauffman published by the mit press 2018 amazon abebooks as the book s subtitle indicates drawing architecture covers a two decade period the 1970s and 80s when architectural drawings produced by contemporary architects increased in popularity with architects with museums and with the wider art market these decades especially the 70s are known for its so called paper architecture which arose due to architects encountering a glut of commissions and offsetting it through theorizing and exploring ideas on paper although jordan kauffman a researcher at mit when he wrote the book and now an assistant professor at the university 1 comment read more favorite books of 2023 get link facebook x pinterest email other apps december 18 2023 for

reviewed at world architects from the 86 books i featured in 2023 15 or 16 books made my list of favorites organized into three categories history monographs and exhibitions the books are alphabetical by title within each category as in previous years not all of these books were published this year given how slow i can be at digesting books and my departure from the annual spring fall cycle of publishers this last aspect the timing of the books i draw attention to will change next year as i shutter this blog and transition it into something else details on that will be announced next month
