Ecologies of Architecture: Essays on Territorialisation

Andrej Radman's collection of essays explores how architecture can transform us by breaking with judgement and focusing on experience. He argues that the design of the built environment should be solution-oriented, while architecture stays with the problem to tease out creative potential.

Drawing on a diverse range of philosophical texts, Andrej Radman has compiled a collection of his essays, published over the past decade, to demonstrate that when a society manipulates its matter, it is not a reflection of culture; rather, it is culture itself. To speak of ecologies of architecture is to break with judgment in favor of experience. As Gilles Deleuze expressed in his book on Nietzsche, it is not about justification but about a different way of feeling: a different sensibility. If thinking differently requires us to feel differently, then the design of the built environment has no other purpose than to transform us. While engineering is solution-oriented, architecture remains with the problem in order to tease out a creative potential.
