The philosophy of Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908-1961) has influenced
the design work of architects as diverse as Steven Holl and Peter
Zumthor, as well as informing renowned schools of architectural
theory, notably those around Dalibor Vesely at Cambridge, Kenneth
Frampton, David Leatherbarrow and Alberto Perez-Gomez in North
America and Juhani Pallasmaa in Finland. Merleau-Ponty suggested
that the value of people's experience of the world gained through
their immediate bodily engagement with it remains greater than the
value of understanding gleaned through abstract mathematical,
scientific or technological systems. This book summarizes what
Merleau-Ponty's philosophy has to offer specifically for
architects. It locates architectural thinking in the context of his
work, placing it in relation to themes such as space, movement,
materiality and creativity, introduces key texts, helps decode
difficult terms and provides quick reference for further reading.
