Item description from seller

224 pages. Jean Tschumi: Architecture at Full Scale is the first book on the Swiss archi tect who, after his training at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, entered the polemical field of modernity and its technological expression. Interrupted by hi s tragic death in 1962 at the age of 57, Tschumi?s work is rich in theoretical questions. What is the meaning of design at full scale, not just for carpets, t ables, or armchairs? Why does the architect study his compositions at the minima l scale of a postage stamp? Is furniture the starting point of architecture? W hy should the project be studied through the systematical use of variants? Does the future of the city lie in the planning of deep underground systems.
