Gadamer for Architects

Providing a concise and accessible introduction to the work of the twentieth century’s celebrated German philosopher, Hans-Georg Gadamer, this book focuses on the aspects of Gadamer’s philosophy that have been the most influential among architects, educators in architecture, and architectural theorists. _x005F_x000D_ Gadamer’s thinking opens a world of possibilities for understanding how building today can be rich with human meaning, relating to architecture’s history in an insightful manner. While Gadamer’s sensitivity to the importance of practice – to the way that theory arises out of practice and must maintain its relevance to practice – also gives his thought a remarkable usefulness that is equal to its depth and erudition.
