Architecture's Appeal: How Theory Informs Architectural Praxis

Edited by Marc J Neveu, Negin Djavaherian and Robert Kirkbride

Abingdon, Oxon UK: Routledge, 2015.

听

Intended as a scholarly 65^th anniversary birthday gift for Prof. Alberto P茅rez-G贸mez, Architecture's Appeal听is a thought-provoking book envisioned to inspire further scholarly inquiries and act as a springboard for discussions in the wider disciplinary field as well as graduate seminars in architectural theory and history. Edited by three distinguished graduates of the Doctoral Program, the volume builds on the architectural tradition of phenomenological hermeneutics as developed by Dalibor Veseley and Joseph Rykwert and carried on by David Leatherbarrow, Peter Carl and Alberto P茅rez-G贸mez.

In this collection, former students, lecturers, and thinkers that have engaged McGill's Architectural History and Theory program in some capacity, including Kenneth Frampton, David Leatherbarrow, Juhani Pallasmaa, Karsten Harries, Steven Holl, Indra Kagis McEwen, David Theodore, Paul Emmons, and Louise Pelletier, offer new insights on questions regarding the role of the architect today and the part of history and theory in contemporary digitally-driven architectural praxis.听
