First, it clearly frames the pertinent aspects of topologyâthe philosophy of placeâimportantly differentiating two concepts that architecture regularly conflates: \u003ci\u003eplace\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003espace\u003c\/i\u003e. Second, it rejects the ubiquitous notion that architecture âœmakes placeâ and, instead, reasons that place is what makes architecture and the built environment possible; that place âœcallsâ \u003ci\u003efor\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eto\u003c\/i\u003e architecture; and that architecture is thus invited to âœlistenâ and respond. Finally, it turns to the matter of designing responses that result not just in more places of architecture (demanding little of design), nor merely in architecture w\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51018973610327,"sku":"9781032322322","price":36.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781032322322.jpg?v=1750778877","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/an-architecture-of-place-9781032322322","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
