Architecture, we like to believe, is an elevated art form that shapes the world as it pleases. Four Walls and a Roof challenges this notion, presenting a candid account of what it is really like to work as an architect.
Drawing on his own tragicomic experiences in the field, Reinier de Graaf reveals the world of contemporary architecture in vivid snapshots: from suburban New York to the rubble of northern Iraq, from the corridors of wealth in London, Moscow, and Dubai to garbage-strewn wastelands that represent the demolished hopes of postwar social housing. We meet oligarchs determined to translate ambitions into concrete and steel, developers for whom architecture is mere investment, and the layers of politicians, bureaucrats, consultants, and mysterious hangers-on who lie between any architectural idea and the chance of its execution.
Four Walls and a Roof tells the story of a profession buffeted by external forces that determine—at least as much as individual inspiration—what architects design. Perhaps the most important myth debunked is success itself. To achieve anything, architects must serve the powers they strive to critique, finding themselves in a perpetual conflict of interest. Together, architects, developers, politicians, and consultants form an improvised world of contest and compromise that none alone can control.
Reinier de Graaf is Partner at the Office for Metropolitan Architecture, Rotterdam.
#Two Hours in London Review Bookshop# It's about what does it mean to be an architect today. 難得有人跳齣來寫這個!當年Wigley說當下的建築理論已經被fragmented到實踐中,那這本書就可以看作是這種fragment的集閤吧;可以直白談論建築學對自己的包裝,說齣我們喜愛一個建築師是因為他摒棄我們所學,可以討論蓋裏的房子是否算contextual,討論為什麼倫敦城市空間失去趣味,羅列日常看到多米諾原型那種神奇的mix feeling...建築師到底都在想什麼?“Nothing is wholly obvious without becoming enigmatic.” 那麼建築的謎是什麼?
