Essay-Interview Set (3 Books)

The Essay-Interview Set brings together three significant works offering different perspectives on architecture, art, and scientific thought. From Paul Scheerbart's visionary "Glass Architecture" to interviews on Douglas R. Hofstadter's philosophical work "Gödel, Escher, Bach," and Aldo Rossi's "Scientific Autobiography" detailing his artistic journey, this set provides a resource that enriches both critical thinking and creative imagination.

Glass Architecture

Consisting of one hundred and eleven short texts, where the author defines each text with a Roman numeral and a title, "Glass Architecture" carries a visionary perspective, despite its author not being an architect. Paul Scheerbart's work also inspired his close friend, Bruno Taut.

On "Gödel, Escher, Bach"

The first book in the Arketonses series consists of an interview series conducted by Aykut Köksal and Bülent Gözkân, focusing on Douglas R. Hofstadter's work "Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid" and particularly on discussions about artificial intelligence.

Scientific Autobiography

Aldo Rossi's autobiography, written in an essayistic style, is more than a simple self-reflection or a theoretical abstraction; it is a literary work that is a product of architectural imagination, revealing the invisible dimension of Rossi's output.
