Immaterial Architecture

"Immaterial Architecture" By Jonathan Hill
Routledge | 2006-04-28 | ISBN: 0415363233 | 227 pages | PDF | 3.9 mb
Architecture is expected to be solid, stable and reassuring-physically, socially and psychologically. Bound to each other, the architectural and the material are considered inseparable.
Jonathan Hill, architect and architectural historian, argues that the immaterial is as important to architecture as the material and has as long a history and so Immaterial Architecture explores the often conflicting forces that draw architecture towards either the material or the immaterial. The book discusses the pressures on architecture and the architectural profession to respectively be solid matter and solid practice, and considers concepts that align architecture with the immaterial, such as the superiority of ideas over matter, command of drawing, and design of spaces and surfaces.
Focusing on immaterial architecture as the perceived absence of matter more than the actual absence of matter, Hill devises new means to explore the creativity of the user and the architect. Users decide whether architecture is immaterial, but architects, and any other architectural producers, create material conditions in which that decision can be made. Immaterial Architecture advocates an architecture that fuses the immaterial and the material, and considers its consequences, challenging preconceptions about architecture, its practice, purpose, matter and use.

Architects Without Frontiers: War, Reconstruction and Design Responsibility

Architects Without Frontiers: War, Reconstruction and Design Responsibility
Publisher: Architectural Press | ISBN: 0750668407 | edition 2006 |
Through selected case studies, Charlesworth examines the role of architects, planners, urban designers and landscape architects in three cities following conflict - Beirut, Nicosia and Mostar - three cities where the mental and physical scars of violent conflict still remain. This book expands the traditional role of the architect from 'hero' to 'peacemaker' and discusses how design educators can stretch their wings to encompass the proliferating agendas and sites of civil unrest.
