Architecture and Philosophy Set (3 Books)

The Architecture and Philosophy Set brings together three special books that shed light on the philosophical foundations of architecture. This set is an ideal selection for readers who want to explore ideas approaching the discipline of architecture from a critical perspective. You will embark on a fascinating journey at the intersection of architecture and philosophy, examining the works of figures who shaped modern architectural history, from Derrida's deconstruction to the depths of Wittgenstein's relationship with architecture.

Architecture and Deconstruction

The book consists of interviews, discussions with deconstructivist architects such as Eisenman, Tschumi, and Libeskind, and writings by the philosopher Jacques Derrida, the creator and developer of Deconstruction thought.

From Ledoux to Le Corbusier

This work, published in 1933 by Emil Kaufmann, one of the leading architectural historians of the 20th century, was described as "the most original art history thesis of recent years" at the time of its publication. Kaufmann explains the birth of "autonomous architecture" by starting from Emmanuel Kant's concept of "autonomous morality."

Wittgenstein and Architecture

The book, which includes 13 theoretical texts on Wittgenstein's relationship with architecture, is the only study of its kind to date. The texts in the book start from the Wittgenstein House and also discuss the famous philosopher's thoughts on architecture in his books.
