Description
Architecture Depends by Jeremy Till explores how architecture is shaped by forces beyond its control. The author argues that architects' pursuit of perfection often leads to denial of uncertainty and contingency in their practice. Till's book offers a proposal for bridging the gap between what architecture actually is and what architects want it to be, drawing on anecdote, design, social theory, and personal experience. With accessible writing that moves freely between high and low registers, Till provides a nuanced understanding of the complex relationships between architecture, people, time, politics, ethics, and mess. By examining the ways in which circumstances intervene in the architectural process, Till aims to rescue architects from their own assumptions and promote a more realistic approach to design.
