Created between 1972 and 1988 (when many architects turned to teaching as economic conditions had drastically curtailed building commissions), these works reflect the period's intellectual debates and propose graphic experimentation as a mode of research. Each suite of drawings offers great insight into the creative processes of six young designers, who have since gone on to establish major international reputations. Setting this \"paper architecture\" in a broader historical backdrop, Jeffrey Kipnis and Terence Riley provide introductory texts and concise commentaries on each of the projects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Terence Riley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Museum of Modern Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/02\/2002\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 180\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.5lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.50h x 8.50w x 1.00d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780870700392","brand":"Museum of Modern Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45486683750537,"sku":"9780870700392","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_3c7f190d-a13b-4d9f-8071-ae0838ac3fe1.jpg?v=1775541264","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/perfect-acts-of-architecture-9780870700392","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
