It proposes the book itself as another three-dimensional, complementary architectural representation with a generational and propositional role within the design process. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArtists’ books in particular – that is, a book made as an original work of art, with an artist, designer or architect as author – have certain qualities and characteristics, quite different from the conventional presentation and documentation of architecture. Paginal sequentiality, the structure and objecthood of the book, and the act of reading create possibilities for the book as a site for architectural imagining and discourse. In this way, the form of the book affects how the architectural work is conceived, constructed and read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn five main sections, \u003ci\u003eBinding Space \u003c\/i\u003eexamines the relationships between the drawing, the building and the book. It proposes thinking through the book as a form of spatial practice, one in which the book is cast as object, outcome, process and tool. Through the book, we read spatial practice anew.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54173625221464,"sku":null,"price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138694330_e504f3b1-2e38-4fb0-8330-8e977bc91802.jpg?v=1777264210","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/binding-space-the-book-as-spatial-practice","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
