Wat is architectuur?

Architectuurtheoretische verkenningen

François Claessens, Henk Engel Ed(s)

Wat is architectuur? is a textbook that explains the theoretical side of the field of architecture. The editors deliberately avoid the current practice of relying on theoretical texts on architecture from outside the field, for example from philosophy or cultural studies. Both editors emphasise the autonomy of architecture as a discipline. The key question concerns the relationship between writing and drawing, which are considered the two core activities of the architectural design practice. About the editors: Henk Engel and François Claessens are associate professors at the Faculty of Architecture at Delft University of Technology, where they teach architectural theory.
