Description

American architect Lebbeus Woods (1940-2012) remains a quiet hero among his colleagues and architectural students alike. His work from the mid-1980s until the end of his life has been widely published, but this book explores an earlier period in his career, beginning in the late 1960s. During this time, Woods was honing his draughtsmanship and theoretical positions while experimenting with various themes and modes of expression. His early trajectory is revealed through largely unpublished drawings and texts, which are linked to his later work. This book aims to generate new scholarship on Woods's career, shedding light on the 'early work' of any architect. International experts in architecture and design contribute to this issue, offering a fresh understanding of Woods's formative years and the context of his early projects.
