Description
xA London-based architect offers a self-reflexive account of a communal building they designed in rural Britain.
Rethinking the Pavilion comprehensively investigates one unique project by Walters & Cohen Architects, the Vajrasana Buddhist Retreat Centre in rural Suffolk, completed in 2018. The book describes how shared experience defines a new way of working towards an architecture that rediscovers and enriches its communal purpose. In addition to setting out a theoretical framework that examines the architectural history and theory of pavilions, the book provides a complex discussion of the details and meanings of the design research process itself.
