A Journey with the Architects of the World

Descriere

A collection of experiences and thoughts related to architects and architecture from around the worldDemonstrates how priorities have changed over the years, as well as how they differ around the globeThrough speeches, articles and interviews, this book highlights some of the more significant considerations that have run in parallel with Vassilis Sgoutas' developments in architecture. It also includes a Random Diary, where the focus is not on what was said or written, but rather on experiences and thoughts that have emanated from events related to architects and to architecture.

Although this book is a personal book, it also mirrors the parallel roads of many architects. Through its pages, glimpses can be caught of the UIA, a unique professional organisation that brings together the architects of the world in pursuit of common ideals and targets. Memory is our wealth. Having on record these texts and events helps us to rediscover how our priorities have changed, as well as how they differ across the globe. In reading between the lines, one will be able to gauge the legacy of action and inaction, and where architects, as individuals and as a profession, have had a positive influence on the advancement of causes. More than a mere history, this book is an awakening call.
