Summary

The contributions to this book present a range of understandings and responses to architecture, from architects, philosophers, and users of buildings. They show a variety of concerns and obsessions that need to be taken into account if we are to understand how multi-faceted architecture can be. The texts are all accessibly written and are introduced with a substantial and original contribution to the discussion of architecture which ranges in new ways across pragmatism, analytic and continental philosophy, literature and film as well as important architects and architectural thinkers.
