papertrailFREE BOOKS opens with almost 50 architectural oblique drawings of minibiebs to introduce readers to the subject of inquiry. 🖊️📐
Anti-perspectival visual representations have been used for more than two thousand years across various cultures, epochs and fields. They remain popular to this date in technical drawing applications, as well as for world-building in retro (inspired) video games. Relying on parallel projection, this style of illustration produces a scaled down replica of the subject of inquiry. Thereby, it preserves its actual measurements and avoiding the distortions inherent to a more “realistic” one-point perspective.
By staging street libraries and their immediate surroundings in this pared-down style, the book allows readers to take in the core functional and architectural characteristics that define these structures in an idealised setting. Taken together, the illustrations, which are stitched together along a consistent grounding line, act as a diorama that allows readers to appreciate the full diversity and richness of this infrastructural phenomenon. From a functional perspective, these pages also act as an elongated table of contents for the subsequent presentation of the full typology of minibiebs.
