Autotheory for the City

Research output: Other contribution

Abstract

This essay was for the publication 100 Minds, edited by Paul Feeney and Marie-Louise Raue. The essay explores the need to reengage with the city as a central object of architectural study, reflecting on past avant-garde projects to create new possibilities, It is one of my early experiments in "autotheory" that combines autobiographical experience of the city - here, Scotland's Central Belt - with autowriting and theoretical inquiry into the relationship between architecture, the city, and its surrounding territory.
