Tectonic theory is an integrative philosophy examining the relationships formed between design, construction, and space while creating or experiencing a work of architecture. In this text, author Chad Schwartz presents an introductory investigation into tectonic theory, subdividing it into distinct concepts in order to make it accessible to beginning and advanced students alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book centers on the tectonic analysis of twenty contemporary works of architecture, located in over a dozen countries across the globe â Germany, Italy, Burkina Faso, the United States, Chile, Japan, Bangladesh, Mexico, Spain, Australia, and more â and designed by notable architects such as Tadao Ando, Herzog \u0026amp; de Meuron, Kengo Kuma, Peter Zumthor, Xu Tiantian, and Francis KÃrÃ.
