Summary:
Leon van Schaik AO, Professor of Architecture at RMIT University for 30 years and mentor to countless Australian architects, lays down his highly influential creative philosophies in his latest book, ''Architecture in its Continuums.'' The text represents a distillation of a lifetime of thinking about architecture and the ways in which it is practiced, researched and taught. The book remediates a gap that van Schaik sees in current architecture writing. There are, he says, ''very few books on architecture that, I believe, concern the practice of architecture itself, as distinct from the large body of writing about the history, sociology and environmental science of architecture.'' Van Schaik contends that we all share a common experience of space and light. Therefore, the architect's skill in the crafting of space and light has the potential to intimately connect architecture with humanity.

Summary:
Around the world, a new architectural form is emerging. In public places a progressive architecture is being commissioned to promote open-ended, undetermined, lightly programmed or un-programmed interactions between people. This new phenomenon of architectural form – Pavilions, Pop-Ups and Parasols – is presaged by rapidly changing social relationships flowing from social media such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. The nexus between real and virtual meeting is effectively being reinvented by innovative and creative architectural practices. People meet in new and responsive ways, architects meet their clients in new forums, knowledge is ‘met’ and achieved in new and interactive frameworks. It contrasts bluntly with the commercially structured interactions of shopping malls and the increasingly deliberate interactions available in cultural institutions. These experiences imbue a new type of client; casually engaged, flocking, hacking, crowd funding and self-helping.

Summary:
In ‘'Thinking Space'’, 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.

Summary:
In ‘'Thinking Space'’, 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. Journeying through the history of the author’s own library, the book reveals some of his most prized texts, the often deeply personal relationships they represent, and their influence on him as conceptual touchstones. In this extended reflection, Van Schaik essentially offers a celebration of the art, poetry, and philosophy of inhabitation – and its power to change our understanding of the world.
