On Surface and Place is a rich and poetic exploration of surfaces
which foregrounds their significance in our understanding and
experience of place. Adopting weaving as its overarching metaphor,
it departs from Gottfried Semper's discussion of correspondences
between architecture and textiles, and emerges from the reading of
photographs, a swatch of Harris Tweed and curtain wall facade
juxtaposed. In juxtaposing the fabric of the city with the weave of
Harris Tweed the book charts an original course across a range of
connected ideas and questions, combining many different themes,
writers and disciplines. It presents integrated and innovative
rethinkings on a number of fundamental relationships, including
correlations between body and building, word and image, and between
the rural and the metropolitan, and the hand-crafted and the
mass-reproduced. In doing so, it seeks to foreground the very
interrelationship of surface and place, as it makes a claim for the
relational nature of the world in which we live.
