These three drawings are the first in a series of "Ideological Diagrams." Personal yet ubiquitous, they are an interpretation of aspects of the architecture in general, and later twentieth-century architectural practice in particular. Their primary concerns are about the language and meaning of architecture, and the changing role of the architect in the twentieth century.
