Along with plan and elevation, section is one of the essential
representational techniques of architectural design; among architects
and educators, debates about a project's section are common and often
intense. Until now, however, there has been no framework to describe or
evaluate it. Manual of Section fills this void.
Paul Lewis, Marc
Tsurumaki, and David J. Lewis have developed seven categories of
section, revealed in structures ranging from simple one-story buildings
to complex structures featuring stacked forms, fantastical shapes,
internal holes, inclines, sheared planes, nested forms, or combinations
thereof. To illustrate these categories, the authors construct
sixty-three intricately detailed cross-section perspective drawings of
built projects—many of the most significant structures in international
architecture from the last one hundred years—based on extensive archival
research. Manual of Section also includes smart and accessible essays on the history and uses of section.
