Translations from drawing to building and other essays

The late Robin Evans was a historian whose writings covered a wide range of architectural concerns: society´s involvement in building types; spatial relations; aspects of geometry; and modes of projection. This text brings together eight of Robin Evans´s essays, including "Mies van der Rohe´s Paradoxical Symmetries" and others that were first published in the "AA Files" series. Written over a period of 20 years from 1970 to 1990, the essays are representative of his diverse body of work. The essays are supported by an introduction by Mohsen Mostafavi, a survey of Evans´s writings by Robin Middleton, and an annotated bibliography by Richard Difford.
