To illustrate these categories, the authors construct sixty-three intricately detailed cross-section perspective drawings of built projectsmany of the most significant structures in international architecture from the last one hundred yearsbased on extensive archival research. Manual of Section also includes smart and accessible essays on the history and uses of section.
