Zusatztext 'This culturally well-rounded book is organised around two main chapters and an illustrated dictionary ... Far more encouraging of creativity than many a "beginner's guide"! and more immediately applicable to studio practice than the raw ingredients found in anthologies of architectural theory. As such it deserves a place at the table of students and practitioners alike.'- Tim Martin! Architecture Journal'Jonathan Hill's work is absolutely definitive.' - Building Design Informationen zum Autor Jonathan Hill is Professor of Architecture and Visual Theory and Director of the MPhil/PhD by Architectural Design programme at the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College London. He is the author of The Illegal Architect (1998) and Actions of Architecture (2003) and editor of Occupying Architecture (1998) and Architecture—the Subject is Matter (2001) among others. Galleries where he has had solo exhibitions include the Haus der Architektur, Graz, and Architektur-Galerie am Weissenhof, Stuttgart. Klappentext Architecture is generally perceived as the solid! physical matter that it unarguably creates! but what of the spaces it creates? This book explores the immaterial aspects of architecture! the pressures on architecture and the architectural profession! and considers concepts that align architecture with the immaterial. Zusammenfassung Hill explores new methods of creativity in architecture by focussing on and emphasizing the importance and significance of the immaterial, the created spaces, broadening the minds of architects and students thereof.
