Product Details
by Jimenez Lai. Published by Princeton Architectural Press, 2012. First edition, first printing. Softcover, illustrated wraps. 143pp. Near Fine, some wear to bottom corners."Architecture has become an increasingly interdisciplinary profession, and the language with which architects envision and articulate their ideas has radically diversified in recent years. Architect Jimenez Lai has pioneered an unexpected and wholly unique approach that moves beyond contemporary architectural renderings and models. Citizens of No Place: An Architectural Graphic Novel is a collection of graphic stories on architecture and urbanism. Inspired by the theoretical drawings of paper architects, Lai uses manga-style storyboards to explore the role of fantasy and storytelling in architecture and in the process ushers in the next generation of theory and criticism." - publisher.
