Architecture From the Outside In

Selected Essays by Robert Gutman

Robert Gutman, Dana Cuff, John Wriedt

Architecture From the Outside In is the only book that contains collected essays by Robert Gutman spanning his career, with the earliest essay included from 1965,and the most recent from 2004. Before his untimely death in 2007, Gutman also wrote new introductions for the book, its chapters, and each of the included essays. Organized into five thematic sections (Practices, Buildings and Projects, Sociology and Architecture, Housing and Architectural Education), the fourteen essays by Gutman included in the book are valuable historical documents but are also relevant to architects practicing today.

Following Gutman’s death, writer Dana Cuff and son-in-law John Wriedt ushered the book to completion and gave the book an additional element: twelve “Dialogues” by some of Gutman’s former students, now some of the best-known architects and theorists of today: Deborah Berke, Bryan Bell, Peggy Deamer, Frank Duffy, Keller Easterling, Robert Fishman, Marta Gutman, Wallis Miller, David Mohney, Patricia Morton, Eric Mumford and Sarah Whiting. These essays give a contemporary response to Gutman’s work, and help make Architecture From the Outside In an invaluable text.
