      abstract     = {The research conducted in ‘The Handbooks Legacy: The
                      Paradigm of Distribution in Architectural Design’
                      investigates handbooks in the domain of graphic tools
                      oriented to architectural design. The research hypothesis is
                      that handbooks proceed via the figuration conventions
                      embedded in five conventional systems of representation of
                      architectural design which are related to: building
                      typologies, structural behavior, functional organization,
                      academic composition, and the scientific management of
                      labor. More specifically, handbooks show how these systems
                      of representations can be simplified in order to adapt to
                      new requirements, such as distribution at the beginning of
                      the 20th Century. The distribution of buildings does not
                      appear to be simply an architectural issue but also an
                      innovative scientific paradigm that involve a multiplicity
                      of disciplinary contributions. The thesis is structured in
                      two parts. The first part consists in a theoretical overview
                      on handbooks and their paradigmatic shift from construction
                      to distribution. Particular attention is dedicated to the
                      variation of concepts like ‘program’, ‘dweller’ and
                      ‘diagram’. The second part is devoted to the analysis of
                      five Italian handbooks published in the first half of the
                      20th Century, where the operative features of distributional
                      representation enucleated in the first part are exemplified.
                      A deep insight on the technical mechanisms involved in the
                      practice of diagram-making is portrayed, from the basic
                      elements of notations towards complex diagrammatic
                      configurations. Finally, a set of design references drawn
                      from various historical periods is provided in order to show
                      how the techniques of diagram-making are embedded in
                      architectural design.},
