In \u003ci\u003eThe Place of Silence\u003c\/i\u003e, Mark Dorrian and Christos Kakalis allow us to explore that relation in its multiplicity of forms through a wonderful array of essays – essays that move across different places and spaces and through a variety of media and disciplines. The result is a ground-breaking work that allows new insights into the character, not only of place and silence, but also of sound and space, emptiness and fullness, presence and absence, listening and attention, stillness and withdrawal. This is a book for everyone who has ever listened to the silence of a place or wondered at the place of silence itself. * Professor Jeff Malpas, Distinguished Professor, University of Tasmania *\u003cbr\u003eThis array of lucid essays by respected scholars skillfully plumbs the many dimensions of silence in architecture: spaces, objects, materials, thoughts, cultural practices, atmospheres and the chthonic. . . . this book is a must-read for anyone seeking a quieter, subtler, deeper human-centered alternative that sings with unexpected approaches. * Professor Paul Emmons, Washington-Alexandria Architecture Center, Virginia Tech, USA *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction, \u003ci\u003eMark Dorrian (Edinburgh College of Art, UK)\u003c\/i\u003e and Christos Kakalis \u003ci\u003e(Newcastle University, UK)\u003c\/i\u003e   \u003cb\u003eMediating Silence\u003c\/b\u003e  1. ‘Then There Was War’: John Hejduk's Silent Witnesses as Nuclear Criticism, \u003ci\u003eMark Dorrian (Edinburgh College of Art, UK)\u003c\/i\u003e  2.
