Interpretation is everywhere in architecture.; it is evident in the
very act of architectural creation. This collection of essays
captures the reflective experience of teachers in the architectural
design studio who take interpretation as the core of architectural
production and hence of architectural understanding. The
introduction of the computer in the design studio revived
expectations of a more scientific approach to architectural design.
This revival in design methods has been largely eclipsed by a more
lucid approach to method. But in many respects the studio climate
is similar to that in which eighteenth and nineteenth century
humanists defended interpretation as the mode of reasoning in the
humanities and social sciences.
This anthology is structured around six interpretive themes: play,
edification, metaphor, authority, otherness and equipmentality.
This book is unique in drawing together strands of thought informed
by the diverse reflections of hermeneutical scholarship, the uses
of digital media and studio teaching and practice.
