Along with plan and elevation, section is one 
of the essential representational techniques of 
architectural design; among architects and 
educators, debates about a project's section 
are common and often intense. Until now, 
however, there has been no framework to 
describe or evaluate it. Manual of Section 
fills this void.

Paul Lewis, Marc Tsurumaki, and David J. Lewis 
have developed seven categories of section, 
revealed in structures ranging from simple one-
story buildings to complex structures featuring 
stacked forms, fantastical shapes, internal 
holes, inc , sheared planes, nested forms, 
or combinations thereof. To illustrate these 
categories, the authors construct sixty-three 
intricately detailed cross-section perspective 
drawings o projects—many of the most 
significant structures in international 
architecture from the last one hundred years—
based on extensive archival research. Manual of 
Section also includes smart and accessible 
essays on the history and uses of section.
