Tschumi über Architekture

"Architect and educator Bernard Tschumi, former dean of the Columbia Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, has long been one of the most influential figures in architectural theory and practice. This volume presents, in a sequence of ten "conversations," his autobiography in architecture, from his conceptual projects of the early 1970s through his major current buildings and projects." "Tschumi approaches his work as the gradual construction of an argument. The conversations, drawn from a six-year series of interviews with critic Enrique Walker, represent that argument in an analysis of Tschumi's writings, buildings, and other works. Evident in the architect's intellectual program is an interwoven relationship between the strategies of each individual project and the formation of his overarching theoretical project."--BOOK JACKET.
