Cover blurb:
This book is in support of ideas. Short stories, letters and notes written by architects, artists, educationalists, design tutors, clients, makers and developers have been put together here to illustrate how, by asking more questions than is often deemed necessary or appropriate, extraordinary, unpredictable and arguably better work can be created. All of the contributors rate the use of collective imaginations highly. They actively seek to explore and build upon differences in understanding, and have a shared desire to speculate. Experiments in Architecture is a celebration of that particular kind of energy, subtlety, skill and ingenuity that is employed (sometimes) in creating the built environment. Its purpose is to serve as a reminder of what is possible, of the importance of re-defining personal roles and of re-inventing daily working practices. With contributions by David Greene, Cedric Price, Sand Helsel, Bruce McLean, Kevin Gray, Matty Pye, Richard Wentworth, Feliks Topolski, Dickon Robinson, Ben Morris, Roger Zogolovitch, Nicholas Royle and David Rosen.
