Communicative Construction

Communicative Construction

Book Chapter entitled “Animism and Architecture”

Communicative Construction explores architecture’s communicative purpose—partly between architects, builders and clients, but more largely, the conversations buildings themselves have with others constructed in their location, through their orientation, articulation and materiality.

Communicative Construction is edited by David Leatherbarrow and ShI Yonggao.
