Linear Thought Condensation

This book aims to unify knowing and feeling with drawing. Since this process is influenced by the memory of our body, the outcome could be unpredictable, mysterious and timeless. If the drawn investigation questions the fundamentals of knowledge, existence and truth, then the resulting architecture might embody a new branch of philosophy. It will affect simultaneously our cerebral, tactile, and spatial perceptions and appear as a circumstantial singularity.

Book Features:

• Condensed thoughts transformed to matter with sequence of drawings.
• With exceptions of the author's other books, no similar published case studies exist.
• Uniquely relevant in both the education and practice architecture.
