After its golden age in the last decades of the 20th century, diagramming is still an experimental practice today, but it focuses on the synthesis of complexity and on new disciplinary territories on the edge between humanities, art, architecture, urban planning and landscape. This manual presents experimental diagrams through sensing, analysing and transforming space.

de verworvenheden van het Nieuwe Bouwen van de jaren twintig, ze zagen deze niet als doel maar als

middel om architectuur te bereiken. Deze kritische houding werd aangescherpt door het uitblijven van

werk, en door de fusie met De 8, een meer radicaal functio...
