In his new book Absolute Beginners, acclaimed Spanish architect
Inaki Abalos explores forms of innovation in architecture. Drawing
on diverse materials elaborated during the 20 years since the
publication of his best-known book, The Good Life, Abalos examines
questions centred on how and why architectural creation - at least
the kind that arouses the greatest cultural interest - is strongly
linked to philosophical thought, especially to the essay and the
aphorism. He guides us to an understanding why innovation - as
happens in philosophy - is inextricably linked to a reflection on
the past and to the emergence of new ways of appropriating old
problems. Absolute Beginners is a single essay written with effort
and passion, made for the pure pleasure of composing a new and
complex work and understanding the source materials as necessary
fragments, while remaining open to adjustments, changes, and
bridges between them. Abalos organises his materials like a piece
of music into a cohesive composition, to the delight and insight of
his readers.
