- Summary:
- The book examines the notion of invention in the architectural project through the work of three architects: Rafael Guastavino, Emilio Pérez Piñero, and Eladio Dieste. It discusses abstraction, innovation, invention, and problem-solving in architectural design, distinguishing between the roles of the innovator, the inventor, and the revolutionary. Based on decades of teaching at the Architectural Association School of Architecture, it proposes a renewed approach to architectural education that emphasizes the design process as much as the built form in the search for truly inventive architecture.
