Kenosis Creativity Architecture locates and explores creativity's
grounding in the ancient concept of kenosis, the "emptying" that
allows creativity to happen; that makes appearance possible. It
concretises that grounding through architecture-a primal expression
of human creativity-critically examining, for the first time,
kenotic instantiations evidenced in four iconic, international
projects; works by Kahn, Pei, Ando, and Libeskind. Then, in a final
turn, the potentiality of architecture's own emptying is probed.
Architect and author Randall Lindstrom draws on Western and Eastern
philosophy, including that of Heidegger, Levinas, Derrida, Vattimo,
Nishida, and Nishitani, as well as on the theology of Christianity,
Judaism, and aspects of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam. Every
chapter expands the argument that, if responsiveness to our world
is taken seriously-if proper and sustainable responses are to be
realised-then a deeper understanding of creativity, and so kenosis,
is essential. This book opens-up a way of thinking about creativity
and humanity's readiness to be creative. It thereby presents a
crucial enquiry-at the nexus of architecture, philosophy, and
theology-for researchers, graduate and postgraduate students, and
practitioners alike.
