Introductory remark
(p. 5)
This book presents a very large
selection of my drawings, models and
photographs. the material is not
ordered in a strict chronology, nor
does it follow the coherence of
various topics.
I have been developing and
redeveloping some of the work and
ideas during 50 years. At least for me,
they never lost their actuality.
One of the objectives of this
publication is to present the diversity
of my interests. The documents come
from the collection of my slides (about
3000) which I did use for my
academic lectures.
I did not add the texts (except some
short captions). They can be found in
my books (about 35). Most of the
original manuscripts are preserved in
the collection of the Getty Research
Institute, Los Angeles.
Marianne Homiridis initiated the book
and has done the scanning, the layout
and presentation by Franck Gautherot.
