Thinkers for Architecture - Just in time for this Generation’s Paper Architects
For those who don’t have the time to read the primary text, or want to get their feet wet, publisher Routledge has released a series of books entitled Thinkers for Architecture
which aim to introduce and cover major philosophers who wrote about architecture.
The three tomes, Deleuze & Guattari for Architects, Irigaray for Architects and Heidegger for Architects offer a good introduction to their work.
While I agree with John that this series is about 15-30 years too late, these books will be a good introduction for for this generation’s paper architects, as all points are showing that we are sliding into a recession. Just think: if you read and digest the current and past literature, you can position yourself for that adjunct faculty position before the economy totally tanks in the next 12-18 months!
