Plans & Images

432 pages, 161 color and 356 b/w illustrations, 239 floor plans

Learning to construct is the objective of the architecture student, who seeks to bring sketches, sophisticated visualizations, material and component choices, and detailed plans and diagrams together in a single grand composition.

Plans and Images offers insight into how architects are trained by examining the teaching and research approach of the Laboratory of Elementary Architecture and Studies of Types (EAST), a satellite studio of the EPFL School of Architecture, Civil and Environmental Engineering (ENAC) in Lausanne.
