Charles Holland: The Joy of Architecture.
Manage episode 424495050 series 3514198
Episode 109 of A is for Architecture has architect, professor and writer, Charles Holland, discussing his new book, How to Enjoy Architecture: A Guide for Everyone, published by Yale University Press this year.
As Charles says, How to Enjoy Architecture is ‘not a history of architecture, and it's definitely not a kind of polemic’. Rather, it ‘tries to open up architecture outside of a sort of standard linear history’ and is instead ‘a plea for more tolerance and pluralism, and for less condemnation […] it tries to say, there might be buildings that you don't like, but they might still be good. They might still be interesting. Just because they don't fit your tastes, that doesn't mean that they should be condemned in some way. So it tries to sort of make a plea for more interest and less condemning of things.’
A noble ideal. Have a listen and feel something.
You can find Charles on his practice’s website, on Instagram and X. The book is linked above.
Thanks for listening.
