Summary:
Architecture depends — on what? On people, time, politics, ethics, mess: the real world. Architecture, Jeremy Till argues, cannot help itself; it is dependent for its very existence on things outside itself. Despite the claims of autonomy, purity, and control that architects like to make about their practice, architecture is buffeted by uncertainty and contingency. Jeremy Till offers a proposal for rescuing architects from themselves : a way to bridge the gap between what architecture actually is and what architects want it to be. Mixing anecdote, design, social theory, and personal experience, Till's writing is always accessible, moving freely between high and low registers, much like his suggestions for architecture itself.
