Welcome to the Hotel Architecture

(Part of the Writing Art Series)

A rollicking tour in the form of a long poem, and a tour de force in the form of a poeme clef, through twentieth-century architecture at the end of millennium.

Departing from conventional genres of architectural writing, Roger Connah presents an original and wry reflection on the fickle but exciting role that language, semantics, and philosophy have played this century in relation to architecture. Welcome to the Hotel Architecture...

We had to read this book for a class on architecture theory. What has this book of poems got to do with architecture? It hits out at the pretensions of mediocre architecture theorists Better to be a man of the forest than a theoretical bore who doesn't know his hind from his Heidegger. This book is great elitism, in the most positive sense of the word. If you can't stand with the very best then bow down before those who know what they are talking about, and pay attention. Or shed your pretensions and work with that which is close at hand, the techtonics of architecture. Recommended reading for all students.
