Sight and Architecture

An opportunity to physically experience architecture is getting less and less fewer because of developing accessible architectural media. Furthermore, private residences or ancient structures are only accessible though photographs. These phenomenon affects a presence of architecture or a design approach. Presenting design processes, model studies, sketches, pictures taken from only one side of a space were originally supposed to transmit an information of a physical space, but recently have an important implication for replacing or redesigning its presence. Similarly, there is an idea to visually organize a concept and to intentionally reduce a various quality of space into a single picture. This book introduces a diversity of "visualized" architecture by various media including the eyes as causes, and transformation of architectural expressive forms as its affects: it provides a clue as to see a new way of seeing architecture which can be applicable to a creative transformation between ideas into images as it called notation or presentation.
