Architectures of Existence 1st Edition

Architectures of Existence by Chris Younès — 1st Edition

Step into a thoughtful, provocative exploration of how buildings shape the way we live. Architectures of Existence reframes architecture as a practice that creates meaning—examining space not just as structure, but as lived experience. Written with clarity and intellectual rigor, Chris Younès guides readers through themes of materiality, memory, social identity, and the ethics of design.

This edition speaks to architects, urban planners, students, and curious readers across cities from London and New York to Dubai and Mumbai. Grounded in contemporary theory yet richly practical, the book connects philosophical inquiry with real-world projects and cultural contexts, making complex ideas accessible without sacrificing depth. You’ll find compelling arguments about how architecture shapes behavior, community and sustainability in our rapidly changing urban environments.

Whether you’re preparing for studio critiques, enriching a university syllabus, or seeking fresh perspectives for practice, this volume offers insightful frameworks and evocative reflections that inspire better design decisions. The tone is scholarly yet engaging—perfect for professionals and academics across Europe, North America, Asia and beyond.
