Architecture and the Genius of Place by Eric Parry (Wiley, 2015). 1st ed. 192 pp. Paperback. "Context: Architecture and the Genius of Place" by Eric Parry, a renowned architect known for his innovative and contextually-sensitive designs, offers a compelling exploration of the vital role of context in architectural theory and practice. This insightful book challenges the conventional view of context as a limiting factor, arguing instead that it should be a source of inspiration and guidance. Parry demonstrates how a deep understanding of the existing urban fabric, social conditions, and cultural origins of a place can inform and enrich the design process. From the grand scale of urban planning to the intimate details of individual buildings, "Context" explores how architects can create buildings that not only belong within their surroundings but also contribute positively to the life of the community.
