Graphic Anatomy 2 by Atelier Bow-Wow is a visual inventory of more than 40 projects — residential, public, and installation-based — rendered through the studio's signature sectional perspective drawings that expose spatial logic with uncommon precision.
About This Book
Where most architectural monographs present the finished object, Graphic Anatomy 2 dismantles it. Atelier Bow-Wow's method of drawing begins in the final design phase, extracting section details and then testing them across shifting perspectives and varied representational approaches until the diagram best communicates the work's spatial character. The result is a body of sectional perspective drawings that make latent geometry and spatial relationships immediately legible. For architects and students alike, this is a rare document of a design practice interrogating its own work through the discipline of drawing — and finding new things each time.
