From Diagram to Design

Kamu Iyer
Front Cover From Diagram To Design

This book contains projects of architecture done over a span of many years. It is not just a catalogue of finished buildings but a recount of the journey of each project, from enquiring into its true nature and searching for the essence of its programme to its logical conclusion.

A programme for a work of architecture is more than a mere set of physical requirements. It evolves from observing and discussing, listening and recalling experiences, abstract notions or visual ideas that are stored in the mind. This book presents a way of thinking in which thoughts and ideas are processed verbally and visually and expressed diagrammatically in sketches or ideograms representing core ideas of an individual design. These are then elaborated into workable solutions that in this book are expressed through narratives, conceptual sketches, plans and photographs of the finished building. It has 525 photographs, drawings and sketches.
