Architectural Theory

In his new insightful book Absolute Beginners, acclaimed Spanish architect Inaki Abalos examines questions on how and why architectural creation is strongly linked to philosophical thought.

A rich collection of essays that offer essential, independent voices on architecture criticism in a highly challenging media environment.

This book contributes to the development of new architectural approaches to informal neighbourhoods and to a better understanding of human habitats that relates spatial issues to broader economic and political questions.

The book promotes a landscape approach as a method for understanding and addressing the complex interdependent issues of environmental and climatic change, ecological degradation, and socio-cultural inequalities.

An invaluable, thought-provoking collection of conversations with leading creatives from around the globe, including architects, photographers, designers, critics, artists, and others. Belogolovsky exposes the complexity of their thought process, while comparing and contrasting them to one another to distill more than 101 ideas.
