A Conversation between George Baird and Hans Teerds: 'Hannah Arendt for Architects'

Abstract

Spatial thinking is political thinking, the German-American philosopher Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) once wrote. It is political, not because it is concerned about a specific space nor program, but since it is concerned about the world and its inhabitants. George Baird and Hans Teerds offer a brief introduction into the writings of Hannah Arendt, with a specific attention to what is relevant for the field of architecture and architectural practice.
