Complex Building Reading List


Here you can find the Complex Building reading list, consiting of plural and diverse approaches to architectural complexity. It is split into two parts:  

Books
The books are being ordered and will be placed in the studio for all students to access.They are a series of broad reference texts to be used of one's own accord  For the purpose of equal access, the  books should reamain in the studio.

Articles/Excerpts
A collection of short articles and excerpts from larger texts, all in PDF format. These are meant as condensed and specific readings that one should read. We plan to set out one day in mid-to-late April for a class discussion of these texts.
