Author: Lucius Burckhardt, Walter Förderer
Sociologist Lucius Burckhardt and architect Walter Maria Förderer may seem an unlikely pair, yet their 1968 book 'Building – A Process' reveals a shared vision: architecture as an ongoing, political, and cultural negotiation. In ten concise chapters, they question preservation dogmas and argue for hybrid, adaptable architectures. This renewed edition underscores their lasting insight: the future of sustainability lies in cultivating a culture of transformation. Available, for the first time, in English.By shifting attention to the phases before construction and after completion, they challenge the idea of new buildings as “clean solutions” and highlight flexibility, conflict, and user agency.
ISBN 9783035631463. Birkhauser Verlag. pb. 112 pages. 19 x 13 cm.
