Urban Innuendoes Peter Magyar

There are eleven different architectural design processes assembled in the book, most of them in the conceptual phase. They are done in different times, for different clients, but with the same method. The verbal text is minimal; interested persons are asked to "read" the drawings, as they progressed "as a first degree differentiation from spirit to matter" Intuition and rational thinking are attempted to be both active throughout the whole process. The depicted surfaces (the "Spaceprints") provide the opportunity to simultaneously explore, analyze, and articulate the shape of space and nonspace. Both urban (macro) and building (micro) scales are developed in tandem, which is the most important observation, and the actual reason, of the book. All ink drawings are made by the author.
