SEVEN LESSONS ON ARCHITECTURAL MORPHOGENESIS It is the author's
fourth extensive book on drawings in architectural design. It
follows the Thought Palaces (1999), Thinkink (2010) and Urban
Innuendoes (2013). All these books favored drawings as compared to
text, but this book has no written text at all (with the exception
of the acknowledgements and the contents page). Its motto is:
drawings speak in many thongs, they form the text of this book. It
contains seven architectural projects, all designed by the author,
and with one exception, they are all international competitions
about complex and significant public buildings. None of his winning
projects are among them, because the purpose of the book is to
provide insights related to the secrets of the intuitive and
rational process of the thoughts to matter transformation. All the
freehand ink drawings are made by the author, using the
"spaceprints" method. Visit the short video:
There are eleven different architectural design processes assembled
in the book, most of them in the conceptual phase. They are done in
different times, for different clients, but with the same method.
The verbal text is minimal; interested persons are asked to "read"
the drawings, as they progressed "as a first degree differentiation
from spirit to matter." Intuition and rational thinking are
attempted to be both active throughout the whole process. The
depicted surfaces (the "Spaceprints") provide the opportunity to
simultaneously explore, analyze, and articulate the shape of space
and nonspace. Both urban (macro) and building (micro) scales are
developed in tandem, which is the most important observation, and
the actual reason, of the book. All ink drawings are made by the
author.
