«Philosophy of Architecture» is the essay by Christian Illies, Nicholas Ray and Lina Tao (Liverpool University Press, paperback).
This work introduces philosophical ideas and their intersection with architecture, both in practice and in the reception and appreciation of the discipline. It argues that design is the central human activity, since it materialises concepts born of the imagination in real buildings, and that architecture makes it possible to confront philosophical tensions by offering concrete designs that build bridges between theories and apparently conflicting approaches.
This English edition was published on 31 July 2018; the work originally appeared in 2014. ISBN-10: 1786941694.
For students and professionals of architecture, design and philosophy interested in the theoretical foundations of their discipline.
