While most books on architecture focus on the architectural outcome
itself, Architects on Dwelling takes a close look at how that
outcome is created. To design any kind of dwelling, architects draw
on both their reservoir of ideas as well as their own experiences
as fellow inhabitants of such structures. This book explores how
architects design the places we inhabit and how those places in
turn inform the manner in which we live, in ways beyond lifestyle
and personal taste. Through contributions by Stephen Hoey, Henry
McKeown & Ian Alexander, James Mitchell, Stacey Philips,
Christopher Platt, Adrian Stewart, and Miranda Webster-most of whom
are Scotland-based practitioners as well as teachers in The Glasgow
School of Art-it reveals the unique values and qualities that
inform their design processes.In their essays, they focus mostly on
one exemplary building, explaining how and why they design the way
they do. Dick van Gameren, Simon Henley, and Graeme Hutton,
distinguished experts and themselves architect-educators, place
this work within an international context and provide insightful
comment about what these design approaches inform us about
contemporary design in Scotland. Complemented with a wide range of
images, these essays both illuminate the architects' motivations
and inspirations and celebrate their featured works. Taken as a
whole, Architects on Dwelling reminds us how profoundly the place
we live in matters to our wellbeing, and of the social
responsibility architects have in creating the built environment in
general and dwellings in particular.
