The Living Tradition of Architecture explores the depth of
architecture as it takes flesh in the living tradition of building,
dwelling and thinking. This is a timely appraisal of the field by
some of its foremost contributors. Beyond modern misconceptions
about tradition only relating to things past and conducive to a
historicist vision, the essays in this volume reveal tradition as a
living continuity and common ground of reference for architecture.
This collection of essays brings together world-leading scholars,
practicing architects and educators, Alberto Perez-Gomez, Christian
Frost, Dagmar Weston, Daniel Libeskind, David Leatherbarrow, Eric
Parry, Gabriele Bryant, Joseph Rykwert, Karsten Harries, Kenneth
Frampton, Mari Hvattum, Patrick Lynch, Robin Middleton, Stephen
Witherford, and Werner Oechslin, in a single celebratory
publication edited by Jose de Paiva and dedicated to Dalibor
Vesely. This book provides a unique initiative reflecting the
group's understanding of the contemporary situation, revealing an
ongoing debate of central relevance to architecture.
