The Figure of Knowledge
Conditioning Architectural Theory, 1960s - 1990s
2020 || Paperback || Sebastiaan Loosen e.a. || Leuven University Press
It is a major challenge to write the history of post-WWII architectural theory without boiling it down to a few defining paradigms. An impressive anthologising effort during the 1990s charted architectural theory mostly via the various theoretical frameworks employed, such as critical theory, critical regionalism, deconstructivism, and pragmatism.
Yet the intellectual contours of what constitutes architectural theory have been constantly in flux. It is therefore paramount to ask what kind of ...
The Tacit Dimension
Architecture Knowledge and Scientific Research
Paperback || Lara Schrijver || Leuven University Press
Within architecture, tacit knowledge plays a substantial role both within the design process and its reception. This book explores the tacit dimension of architecture in its aesthetic, material, cultural, design-based, and reflexive understanding of what we build. Much of architecture’s knowledge resides beneath the surface, in nonverbal instruments such as drawings and models that articulate the spatial imagination of the design process. Tacit knowledge, described in 1966 by Michael Polany...
Mapping Landscapes in Transformation
multidisciplinary Methods for Historical Analysis
2019 || Paperback || Thomas Coomans e.a. || Leuven University Press
The development of historical geographical information systems (HGIS) and other methods from the digital humanities have revolutionised historical research on cultural landscapes. One of today’s major challenges, however, concerns the concepts and tools to be deployed for mapping processes of transformation—that is, interpreting and imagining the relational complexity of urban and rural landscapes, both in space and in time, at micro- and macro-scale. The opening up of increasingly divers...
Architecture: A Very Short Introduction
A Very Short Introduction
2002 || Paperback || Andrew Ballantyne || Oxford University Press
This highly original and sophisticated look at architecture helps us to understand the cultural significance of the buildings that surround us. It avoids the traditional style-spotting approach in favour of giving an idea of what it is about buildings that moves us, and what it is that makes them important artistically and culturally. The book begins by looking at how architecture acquires meaning through tradition, and concludes with the exoticism of the recentavant garde.

For more than forty years, the beautifully illustrated Architecture: Form, Space, and Order has served as the classic introduction to the basic vocabulary of architectural design.

The Corruption of Co-Design
Political and Social Conflicts in Participatory Design Thinking
2023 || Paperback || Otto von Busch e.a. || Taylor & Francis
