This book is the first in the Concepts Series, dedicated, on the one hand, to great architects of today who have an undeniable influence on contemporary practice. On the other hand, each of these publications focuses on central themes of architecture as a cultural practice.

From Vitruvius's Ten Books of De Architectura, through Renaissance treatises such as Alberti's De re Aedificatoria, to the efforts at conceptual clarification by 19th-century French thinkers such as Quatremere de Quincy with his Dictionary of Architecture, to more recent treatises such as Robert Venturi's Complexity and Contradiction in Architecture, Jesse Reiser and Nanako Umemoto's Atlas of Novel Tectonics, or Patrik Schumacher's two-volume The Autopoiesis of Architecture, all of them have aimed to put into words the concepts and figures that make up an increasingly broad discipline whose scope becomes progressively more uncertain.
