El. knyga: Architect and the Academy: Essays on Research and Environment [Taylor & Francis e-book]

Dean Hawkes has been a teacher, researcher and practitioner of architecture for over half a century. For 30 years he taught and researched in the Department of Architecture at the University of Cambridge and, between 1995 and 2002, was professor of architectural design at the Welsh School of Architecture at Cardiff University. Following his retirement, he returned to Cambridge as a fellow of Darwin College, where he continues to research and teach. He retired from architectural practice in 2010. His research focusses on the relationship between technics and poetics in architecture and is principally concerned with questions of environmental design. The essays collected in this book range across this broad field, covering two distinct themes: The Culture and Origins of Architectural Research and Themes in the Architecture of Environment. Together these complement the authors series of Routledge books: The Environmental Tradition (1996), The Selective Environment (2001), The Environmental Imagination (1st ed. 2008, 2nd ed. 2019) and Architecture and Climate (2012).
