Research and Practice in Architecture

Discussion on architecture and its relationship to practical work.

Description

In this book, six internationally renowned experts, professors of architecture – Stanford Anderson, Peter Carolin, Carsten Juel-Christiansen, Joseph Rykwert Patrik Schumacher and Dietmar Steiner – discuss the study of architecture and its relationship to practical work.

The forum for this discussion was the two-day Research and Practice in Architecture Seminar held by the Alvar Aalto Academy and the Helsinki University of Technology in spring 2000. During the seminar, views were expressed on the new directions being taken in architectural research and the oppurtunities they offer. The book also includes the main topics of the two open sessions organised in connection with the seminar.
