Architect Iredale Pedersen Hook Architects

As I argue in Architecture in its Continuums, the constants of architecture have been much described: forms disposed in space revealed by light; solids and cavities composed of matter that is carved, moulded, componentized or pixelated, surfaced to look hard, soft or translucent, textured or decorated, coloured raw or applied, penetrated with openings and articulated with markings that are rhythmically and proportionally arrayed; elements deployed to create a range of aural resonances; materials composed with their scented impact on the olfactory system in mind. The continuums in which architecture operates are less well documented and for the most part they have been disrupted. The basis of knowing and doing has been obscured from architects and their clients by the failure to understand that spatial thinking is the unique knowledge base
