Theory of Architecture is a series of in-depth conversations with architects and academics about architecture and the theories and philosophies behind it.

‘I try to create links, to join the dots, to tell politics like a story, to make it real…’ Over a lifetime spent at the frontline of solidarity and resistance, Arundhati Roy’s words have lit a clear way through the darkness that surrounds us. Combining the skills of the architect she trained to be and the writer she became, she illuminates the hidden structures of modern empire like no one else, revealing their workings so that we can resist.

Horror begins at home. From family homes in Amityville to Gothic mansions in Los Angeles and the Unabomber's cabin, houses often capture and contain the horror that has happened within them. Sick Houses crosses the threshold of these eerie spaces to explore how different types of architecture become vessels for terror and how these spaces, meant to shelter us, instead become the source of our deepest fears.

Disability critiques of architecture usually emphasize the need for modification and increased access, but The Architecture of Disability calls for a radical reorientation of this perspective by situating experiences of impairment as a new foundation for the built environment. With its provocative proposal for "the construction of disability," this book fundamentally reconsiders how we conceive of and experience disability in our world.

IDENTITY: Who Am I? is a profound exploration of the most important question every human must answer—before life answers it for them. In a world where identity is shaped by culture, expectations, and experiences, many people live disconnected from their true essence. The result is confusion, misalignment, and unfulfilled potential. In this transformative audiobook, Dr. Joke Solanke unpacks identity as the foundation of fulfillment, leadership, and destiny. She reveals how identity is not merely personal—it is generational.

The design of cities and buildings affects the quality of our lives. Making the built environment useful, safe, comfortable, efficient, and as beautiful as possible is a universal quest. We dream about how we might live, work, and play. From these dreams come some 95 percent of all private and public buildings; professional architects design only about five percent of the built environment.

To address this, we’ve started a new series, Stories on Facilitating Software Design and Architecture. In these sessions, we focus on real-world experiences from our community, sharing practical stories about the alternative approaches that have delivered results. It’s ...

Während Sascha durch seine Fürsorge Stabilität bieten wollte, verlor Kimi in der totalen Hingabe und den hohen Erwartungen zunehmend ihre eigene Identität. Der plötzliche Bruch markiert für beide Protagonisten den schwierigen Prozess der Selbstreflexion und ...
