Product Description

Publisher: Birkhauser Verlag, ISBN: 9783035620764, Edited by: Daniel Kiss, Simon Kretz, Format: Softcover, 250 x 175, 400pp

This commentated anthology contains essential passages from eight important architecture and urban design theory texts from the 1960s to the 2010s. With these excerpts, the editors discursively outline the concept of form as a relational field of tension between man and material. The relational element is treated not only as a topos, but above all the interpretational perspective of architectural theory. The texts are arranged under the guiding themes of Type, Process, Place and Things.
