saw this at léopold’s blog, and then at ethel’s tumblr, and then I found out that the princeton architectural press has a tumblr when I saw a reblog of an image of a book page by Le Corbusier at a456’s tumblr, which I discovered via things magazine’s rss feed. I don’t know if the internet is just the second best thing ever invented by man or if I should just get out more.

From the pages of One Five Four by Lebbeus Woods  (click above for high-res)

Lebbeus Woods is a true visionary, whose drawings are among the richest and passionate as any in the history of architecture. For his first monograph, OneFiveFour, Woods painstakingly drew a book of two-page spreads that weave text, architectural elements, math, and physics into a unique vision of a new humanism for the information age. The powerful immediacy of the art makes it one of the most influential books we have ever published. Critic Michael Sorkin says it best: “In the mesmerizing, astonishingly wrought images of Lebbeus Woods…we are plunged into unfamiliar territory, a world of architecture beginning again….His ever-expanding discourse of the almost impossible is an inspiration not just to build, but to think.”


Lebbeus Woods is widely regarded as the most exciting and original architectural visionary today. His body of theoretical work and extraordinary drawings have served as inspiration for architects, artists, and legions of students. He is the author of four books published by Princeton Architectural Press. He lives in New York City and teaches at the Cooper Union.
