In their new book, the international CARTHA network engages with
the question of forming identity in society and the role that
architecture plays in this process. Inspired by Jacques Lacan’s
approach from psychoanalysis, CARTHA’s members break down the
identity-formation process into four sub-steps, which they explore
in interviews: Maarten Delbeke, professor of history and theory of
architecture at ETH Zurich, talks about Assimilation; Frederike
Lausch, researcher at TU Darmstadt’s Department of Architecture,
about Appropriation; Rob Krier, Berlin and Liguria-based architect
and sculptor, about Denial, and Jonathan Sergison, London-based
architect, about Reconciliation. These conversations make up the
cornerstones for a new, experimental design methodology, which has
been tested in practice by architecture firms Bruther (Bordeaux),
Bureau Spectacular (Los Angeles), Conen Sigl (Zurich), Made In
(Geneva / Zurich), Monadnock (Rotterdam), Studio Muoto (Paris), and
Sam Jacob Studio (London). CARTHA — Building Identities features
a variety of buildings — houses, cottages, apartments —
designed in the context of these insights. The book offers a
didactic manual for contemporary architectural design. The concept
of identity that CARTHA proposes invites readers to adopt a
critical attitude towards any found environment. The objective is a
deeper understanding of how architects actually create identity
through their designs.
