The question of what architecture is answered in this book with one
sentence: Architecture is space created for human activities. The
basic need to find food and water places these activities within a
larger spatial field. Humans have learned and found ways to adjust
to the various contextual difficulties that they faced as they
roamed the earth. Thus rather than adapting, humans have always
tried to change the context to their activities. Humanity has
looked at the context not merely as a limitation, but rather as a
spatial situation filled with opportunities that allows, through
intellectual interaction, to change these limitations. Thus
humanity has created within the world their own contextual bubble
that firmly stands against the larger context it is set in. The key
notion of the book is that architecture is space carved out of and
against the context and that this process is deterministic.
