Summary:
In their new book, the international CARTHA network engages with the question of forming identity in society and the role that architecture plays in this process. Inspired by Jacques Lacan’s approach from psychoanalysis, CARTHA’s members break down the identity-formation process into four sub-steps, which they explore in interviews: Maarten Delbeke, professor of history and theory of architecture at ETH Zurich, talks about ''Assimilation''; Frederike Lausch, researcher at TU Darmstadt’s Department of Architecture, about ''Appropriation''; Rob Krier, Berlin and Liguria-based architect and sculptor, about ''Denial'', and Jonathan Sergison, London-based architect, about ''Reconciliation''. These conversations make up the cornerstones for a new, experimental design methodology, which has been tested in practice by architecture firms Bruther (Bordeaux), Bureau Spectacular (Los Angeles), Conen Sigl (Zurich), Made In (Geneva / Zurich), Monadnock (Rotterdam), Studio Muoto (Paris), and Sam Jacob Studio (London). ''CARTHA—Building Identity'' features a variety of buildings—houses, cottages, apartments—designed in the context of these insights.
