In "Urban Innuendoes" (published by Trafford Publishing), Peter Magyar's new book, readers are guided along a new, innovative method of architectural drawing.

Magyar assembles 11 different architectural design processes in "Urban Innuendoes," most of which he describes as still in the conceptual phase. According to him, they are done in different times, for different clients, but with the same method. The verbal text is minimal; interested persons are asked to read the drawings, as they progressed "as a first degree differentiation from spirit to matter."

Magyar uses intuition and rational thinking throughout "Urban Innuendoes." He says the depicted surfaces (the "Spaceprints") allow readers to simultaneously explore, analyze and articulate the shape of space and non-space. He develops both urban (macro) and building (micro) scales in tandem, which, as he says, is the most important observation, and the actual reason, of the book.

About the Author
Between 1989 and 2011, Peter Magyar served at three universities in the position of head of architecture department, or as in Florida Atlantic, as a founding director. His strong belief is that teaching has to have a constantly tested and renewed source of direct participation in the actual practice of architecture, hence his many projects, the results of consulting with noted firms or entering competitions. Some of these activities didn't reach conclusion, but collected in "Urban Innuendoes," may provide applicable insights. Both his practice and his academic activities are conducted on the international level. His master and doctor of architecture degrees are from the Technical University of Budapest.
