Architectural Philosophy


Architectural Philosophy

Architectural Philosophy is the first book to outline a philosophical account of architecture and to establish the singularity of architectural practice and theory. This dazzling sequence of essays opens out the subject of architecture, touching on issues as wide ranging as the problem of memory and the dystopias of science fiction. 

Arguing for the indissolubility of form and function, Architectural Philosophy explores both the definition of the site and the possibility of alterity. The analysis of the nature of the present and the complex sructure of repetition allows for the possibility of judgement, a judgement that arises from a reworked politics of architecture.
 

Architectural Knowledge: The Idea of a Profession


Architectural Knowledge: 
The Idea of a Profession
 1998 | PDF | 240 pages | 2 mb

In this collection of interrogatory essays, Francis Duffy argues that the success of the architectural profession in post-war Britain is directly related to its stewardship of the intellectual property that he calls "architectural knowledge." The backdrop to this debate is the author's term of presidency of the RIBA between 1993 and 1995.
