Dwelling with Architecture, Paperback Book

Dwelling with Architecture Paperback

Paperback

Description

The dwelling is the most fundamental building type, nowhere more so than in the open landscape.

This book can be read in a number of ways. It is first a book about houses and particularly the theme `dwelling and the land'.

It examines the poetic and prosaic issues inherent in claiming a piece of the landscape to live on.

It could also be seen as a kind of road map, full of both warnings and encouragements for all those involved with, or just interested in, the making of houses.

That the domestic realm and the landscape can be vehicles for significant architectural insights is hardly an original observation.

However this book seeks to bring the two topics together in a unique way.

In exploring a building type that lies on the cusp of what is commonly understood as `building' and `architecture', it asks fundamental questions about what the very nature of architecture is.

Who indeed is the architect and what is their role in the process of creating meaningful buildings?
