Thinkers for Architects

Piotr Chuchla

Architects often draw on philosophical and theoretical thinkers for design inspiration and critical frameworks. Yet engaging with these writings can be challenging. Without proper context, original texts can seem inaccessible, and existing interpretations rarely address architectural materials in detail. The National Institute of Architecture and Urban Planning introduces "Thinkers for Architects", a new series offering concise overviews of philosophers who have shaped architectural thought. It contextualizes their ideas, highlights key works, clarifies terminology, and suggests further reading. The series debuts with an architect-written exploration of Martin Heidegger’s selected writings, specifically tailored for architects.
