This is the first book dedicated to the relationship between architecture and geography and includes contributors from the UK, USA, Sweden, Switszerland, Netherlands, Australia, and Singapore.
Architecture and Geography are disciplines that share an interest in space, place and environment: conventionally with architecture as creators, geographers as analysts. These disciplines seem to belong together, perhaps should belong together, but there has been seemingly insurmountable distance and differences between them.

Architecture And Geography is dedicated to surmounting this distance and these difference. The collection offers a series of engaging essays on the relationship between these two areas: across time, in different cultural and national contexts, through different practices of designing and describing the world, and through different theoretical registers.

The collection brings together a prestigious group of international scholars, drawn from both architecture and geography. In an era of globalization, mass urbanization, intensified inequities and environmental duress the need for geography and architecture to speak to each other is pressing. Never before has there been such a sustained meditation on the possibilities that occupy the space between the architectural and geographical imaginations.
