In this lavishly illustrated text, Patrik Schumacher, a world-leading architectural theorist and principal architect with Zaha Hadid Architects, provides a comprehensive analysis on tectonism as evolving into the new architecture for the 21st century.
Patrik Schumacher is principal of Zaha Hadid Architects and is leading the firm since Zaha Hadid’s passing in March 2016. He joined Zaha Hadid in 1988 and was seminal in developing Zaha Hadid Architects to become a 500 strong global architecture and design brand. Patrik Schumacher is a winner of the Royal Institute of British Architects’ Stirling Prize for excellence in architecture and an academician of the Berlin Academy of Arts. In 1996 he founded the Design Research Laboratory at the Architectural Association in London where he continues to teach. Patrik Schumacher holds a PhD in Cultural Science and in 2010–2012 he published his two-volume theoretical treatise "The Autopoiesis of Architecture." Patrik Schumacher is widely recognized as a thought leader within the fields of architecture, urbanism and design, and has contributed over 100 articles to architectural journals and anthologies.
