Synopsis
While the final product of an architect's efforts typically receives the majority of media attention, the process by which it is achieved is rarely revealed. "Architecture in Process" presents the sketches, drawings and models produced by the offices of Eric Owen Moss, Morphosis, Steven Holl, Itsuko Hasegawa and Will Alsop who all place considerable emphasis on the evolution of a design idea and the careful documentation of its incremental growth. Each of these architects approaches that task differently, providing an informative study of the variety of methods now being used to acheive architecture of the highest standard throughout the world. The techniques presented range from extremely unstructured and informal to rigorous and definitive, but in each case provide an insight into the elusive and hitherto intangible process by which architects transform concepts into form.
