Gnostic Architecture

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the architect's personal approach, this work presents Eric Owen Moss's design theory, "Gnostic Architecture," which transcends traditional debates over style and ideology. It promotes a dynamic practice, emphasizing that architecture should remain in a state of motion, guided by the architect's internal compass rather than external influences. Moss argues that true architects grapple with fundamental questions that define their integrity. The book's distinctive trapezoidal shape and visual elements further embody these concepts, making it a unique exploration of contemporary architectural thought.
