Title & Author:

THINKING SPACE - READINGS FROM A LIFE IN ARCHITECTURE.

Publication:

[S.l.] : URO PUBLICATIONS, 2025.

Summary:

Architect and educator Leon van Schaik explores how books, and book collecting, have framed his lifelong research into spatial intelligence - the ways in which our past experiences in physical space shape our mental space, which in turn informs how we act in the world. A journey through the history of the author's own library - a collection gathered and refined over decades of teaching and thinking about place, space and architecture - the book reveals some of his most prized texts, the often deeply personal relationships they represent, and their influence on him as conceptual touchstones. Thinking Space is an extended reflection on a life lived thoughtfully - a celebration of the art, poetry and philosophy of inhabitation, and its power to change our understanding of the world.
