Résumé:

"Large, Lasting, & Inevitable offers a comprehensive overview of six decades of Jorge Silvetti's contributions to architectural thought. In a collection of archival writings paired with new dialogues between Silvetti and interlocutors from successive generations, the volume explores architecture's role as material culture and revisits the discipline's major transformations since the 1960s. Each set of writings is introduced by a conversation that contextualizes the cultural and intellectual forces shaping both Silvetti's work and the broader field. These dialogues illuminate pivotal moments in architectural history, highlight Silvetti's contributions as a practitioner and academic, and explore how architecture engages with historical, cultural, and social conditions."--Back cover.
