Abstract

Form of Knowledge is a collection of ten essays written by Pezo von Ellrichshausen over the past decade. According to the authors, they can be read as «ten problems derived from the practice of architecture, from the practice of thinking about possible buildings for the future and from the practice of inhabiting buildings and imagining their possible causes or explanations to exist as they are, or as we think they are». Translated into Italian for the first time, the unpublished title refers to the capacity of architecture to be self-referential or a problem in itself, in other words; a meaningful artifact derived from human understanding for the ultimate purpose of human understanding.
