Architecture is made by use and by design. Drawing on the work of a wide range of architects, artists and writers, this volume considers the relations between the architect and the user, which it compares to the relations between the artist and viewer and the author and reader. The book's thesis is informed by the text The Death of the Author, in which Roland Barthes argues for a writer aware of the creativity of the reader. The Death of the Author is an important influence on artistic production, encouraging less didactic subject-object and artist-viewer relations than ones familiar in the...

Weather Architecture further extends Jonathan Hill's investigation of authorship by recognising the creativity of the weather. At a time when environmental awareness is of growing relevance, the overriding aim is to understand a history of architecture as a history of weather and thus to consider the weather as an architectural author that affects design, construction and use in a creative dialogue with other authors such as the architect and user.
Environmental discussions in architecture tend to focus on the practical or the poetic but here they are considered...

Architecture can be analogous to a history, a fiction, and a landscape. We expect a history or a novel to be written in words, but they can also be cast in concrete or seeded in soil. The catalyst to this tradition was the simultaneous and interdependent emergence in the eighteenth century of new art forms: the picturesque landscape, the analytical history, and the English novel. Each of them instigated a creative and questioning response to empiricism's detailed investigation of subjective experience and the natural world, and together they stimulated a design practice and lyrical...
