This issue drives Hill's explorative look at the immaterial aspects of architecture. The book discusses the pressures on architecture and the architectural profession to be respectively solid matter and solid practice and considers concepts that align architecture with the immaterial, such as the superiority of ideas over matter, command of drawing and design of spaces and surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFocusing on immaterial architecture as the perceived absence of matter, Hill devises new means to explore the creativity of both the user and the architect, advocating an architecture that fuses the immaterial and the material and considers its consequences, challenging preconceptions about architecture, its practice, purpose, matter and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a useful and innovative read that encourages architects and students to think beyond established theory and practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Hill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415363233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415363235\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.87h x 7.11w x 0.68d","brand":"Jonathan Hill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48658849661183,"sku":"9780415363235","price":255.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/immaterial-architecture-jonathan-hill-9780415363235","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
