Theory of art; Theory of architecture

In this thought-provoking collection of interviews, Vladimir Belogolovsky reflects on nearly 20 years of conversations with leading architects and others, selecting one essential part to form a question-and-answer that would expose the complexity of their thinking process, while comparing and contrasting them to one another, thereby distilling more than 100 ideas.

His engaging narrative captures the stories behind every project and every personality while exploring the important question - what makes a building architecture? The selection of interviews gathers many answers but inevitably, also many more questions. This book represents people who work in diverse places culturally and climatically and came of age in very different times - from the revolutionary 1960s to our own time, and as such forms an invaluable reference.

He writes for Arquitectura Viva (Madrid) and SPEECH (Berlin) and is a columnist on ArchDaily and STIR.
