The Power Of Circumstance - Architecture And Creative Independence, Six Lectures By Per Olaf Fjeld

Norwegian architect Per Olaf Fjeld is also an educator at the Oslo School of Architecture and Design. This book, consisting of six of his lectures, revolves around a number of simple but profound questions for the young architect. These address the individual's identity and background, and a recognition of one's creative abilities and how this can in turn contribute to the lasting quality of one's work. In setting out to encourage his students to examine the depth of architecture and develop a deeper understanding and awareness of our humanity through architecture, Per Olaf Fjeld hopes to inspire a sharpening, renewal, and better understanding of the creative act in each of us.
