“Manual of Section”

In architectural planning, a section is a drawing of a vertical cut of a structure that shows a view not normally seen by the human eye. What can this perspective also reveal about community relationships? Paul Lewis, Director of Graduate Studies at Princeton University’s School of Architecture, will draw upon his recently published bestselling book, Manual of Section, to explain architectural section drawings and studies. He will present work from his office, Lewis.Tsurumaki.Lewis Architects, including the winning design for an art center in Telluride, Vassar College, Columbia University, Claremont Colleges, the Contemporary Austin, and the Helen R. Walton Children’s Enrichment Center.
