Who is the The Five Points poster for?

The Five Points belongs to the Architecture section rather than to a school year, because design is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning history & theory can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.

When should you use the The Five Points poster?

Use it on Villa Savoye, and to check which of the five a later building actually uses. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so The Five Points belongs on the wall where that design work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.

What other posters go with The Five Points?

What size does the The Five Points poster print at?

The Five Points is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download.
