About this title

Synopsis

Helmut Jacoby is probably the foremost architectural renderer of our times--and indeed perhaps the last, as the craft of perspective drawing comes to be replaced by computer animation. His presentation drawings, in ink and ink spray, of works by such masters as Philip Johnson, Eero Saarinen, I.M. Pei, Marcel Breuer and SOM constitute a panoramic sweep of the innovations of Modernism in North America during the 1950s and 1960s, and set the standard for architectural presentation. This volume is the first publication of all of Jacoby's output.
