Summary:
This hybrid essay involves theory, history and building design. The narrative thread places very particular emphasis on the period between 1850 and 1950, a time at which new techniques and aesthetic rules came to the fore, leading to the development of a concern with turning the roof into an habitable space. "Dwelling on the Roof" ends with a selection of projects spanning the past fifty years which have continued to develop this theme. Included are works by modern architects such as Alejandro de la Sota and Giancarlo De Carlo, as well as works by contemporary architects such as Foreign Office Architects and Kazuyo Sejima.
