Books in the Maths Quest for Aust Curriculum Series series

In this suggestive inquiry into the operations of linearity in architectural theory and practice, the author investigates the line as both a conceptual and literal force in architecture. She approaches the subject from philosophical, theoretical, practical and historical points of view.

Addresses philosophical questions concerning the relation between writing and architecture. This book draws together two cultural fantasies from different periods, and argues that architecture is a system of representation, with signifying possibilities that go beyond the symbolic.
