Architects have o+en looked to thinkers in philosophy and theory for design ideas, or in search
of a cri.cal framework for prac.ce. Yet architects and students of architecture can struggle to
navigate thinkers' wri.ngs. It can be daun.ng to approach original texts with li1le apprecia.on
of their contexts and exis.ng introduc.ons seldom explore architectural material in any detail.
This original series o/ers clear, quick and accurate introduc.ons to key thinkers who have
wri1en about architecture. Each book summarizes what a thinker has to o/er for architects. It
locates their architectural thinking in the body of their work, introduces signiKcant books and
essays, helps decode terms and provides quick reference for further reading. If you Knd
philosophical and theore.cal wri.ng about architecture diLcult, or just don't know where to
begin, this series will be indispensable.
Books in the Thinkers for Architects series come out of architecture. They pursue architectural
modes of understanding, aiming to introduce a thinker to an architectural audience. Each
thinker has a unique and dis.nc.ve ethos, and the structure of each book derives from the
character at its focus. The thinkers explored are prodigious writers and any short introduc.on
can only address a frac.on of their work. Each author - an architect or an architectural cri.c -
has focused on a selec.on of a thinker's wri.ngs which they judge most relevant to designers
and interpreters of architecture. Inevitably, much will be le+ out. These books will be the Krst
point of reference, rather than the last word, about a par.cular thinker for architects. It is
hoped that they will encourage you to read further; o/ering an incen.ve to delve deeper into
the original wri.ngs of a par.cular thinker.
The Krst three books in the series explore the work of: Gilles Deleuze and Felix Gua1ari; Mar.n
Heidegger; and Luce Irigaray. Familiar cultural Kgures, these are thinkers whose wri.ngs have
already inOuenced architectural designers and
cri.cs in dis.nc.ve and important ways. It is hoped that this series will expand over .me to
cover a rich diversity of contemporary thinkers who have something to say to architects.
