“Constructing Architecture” describes that architectural position of architects which makes it possible for them to forge links between the planning of a project and its realisation, the competence to create coherence regarding content and subject. During the planning of a project this is reflected in the clarification and development of a design objective, and in the physical implementation becoming increasingly more clearly defined. When, for example, a literary work is translated into another language the use of the correct grammar or syntax is merely a technical prerequisite – a conditio sine qua non. The important thing is to reflect coherently the sense and the atmosphere of the original text, which in certain circumstances may itself have a specific influence on grammar and syntax. The structure of the book, divided into the chapters “Materials – modules”, “Elements” and “Structures”, reflects the development process of architecture: starting with a single raw material via the joining of different building parts up to the finished building. This also points to a main objective of the book: it aims to show how much architectural expression depends on its constructional composition. In line with this goal the present work pays special attention to constructional aspects which create “sense”, and in this aspect it differs from the albeit relevant but exclusively technology-focused literature.
