The Founding Myths of Architecture brings together and discusses
the work of some of the most influential and intriguing figures in
the history of architecture. By returning to the authentic roots
from which modern architectural thought has sprung, it explores the
significance of the discipline in relation to the evolution of
mankind.
The contributors, international leading theorists from a variety of
disciplines, provide fascinating texts that contribute to the broad
discussion on architecture and its relationship with science,
nature, art and society. Kari Jormakka, Fabio Barry, Pedro Azara,
Caspar Pearson and Henry Dietrich Fernandez are just some of the
respected scholars whose writings comprise this authoritative look
at the origins of architectural practice and its importance to the
development of modern society.
By exploring architecture as a basic human instinct, linking
contemporary architecture to ideas surrounding mythology and cosmos
and assessing the importance of architecture from an
anthropological viewpoint, The Founding Myths of Architecture is a
refreshing take on architectural theory. The oeuvre of Frank Lloyd
Wright, Le Corbusier, Louis Kahn, Francesco Borromini, Andre Le
Notre, Giorgio Grognet and Marcus Vitruvius Pollio amongst others
is visually referenced in the context of these topics.
Published in both French and English editions, this collection of
essays pushes the boundaries of architectural criticism by
encompassing history and anthropology in its analysis of design
theory and by moving away from a purely rational and functional
understanding of architecture.
