Two distinguished teachers and writers Quantrill, Director of the CASA at Texas A+M University and his Finnish colleague Mäkinen, former Director General of the National Board of Public Buildings share reflection on architecture and culture, in conversations, correspondence and related provocations. “What are we trying, then? We approach our object by checking the premises, by searching for the elements of change rather than the detailed results. We prefer the journey rather than reaching the end-station. We study the structures rather that the rivet-heads. We study the different aspects that will form and re-form the contexts of architecture to be.” Here the authors engage in dialogues as they explore the present state of architecture and its culture.
