Dayton Eugene Egger: The Paradox of Place in the Line of Sight,
showcases the pedagogical sketches of Dayton Eugene Egger, the
Patrick and Nancy Lathrop Professor Emeritus, Virginia Tech School
of Architecture + Design. To Egger, architectural education is a
vibrant vehicle for creating and disseminating knowledge across
generations. It simultaneously concerns learning from the past and
presents possible futures. Egger points to lessons learned from
Josef Albers related to the 'criticality of seeing' and displaying
information. For Egger, these discursive departure points engage
both the place of potential discovery and the act of applying
knowledge to a given situation and a given context. The book
comprises three parts - Gene Egger's pedagogy as sparked by travels
to Europe and North America and its direct impact on students as
evidenced through drawing. Essay contributions by Kenneth Frampton,
Dayton Eugene Egger, Steven + Cathi House, Mitzi Vernon, Paul
Emmons, Mark Blizard, Michael OBrien, Gregory Luhan, and Frank
Weiner bridge these three 'chapters' and provide critical insights
or personal reflections.
