This vast and comprehensive volume of work on the world's most renowned architects was called “a once in a lifetime project”. It took eight years of preparation. Faced with the increased invisibility of the architectural discourse itself as media attention focused increasingly on the visual aspects of architecture, this book sought to restore the balance between social and artistic choices and their consequences.

​

The Invisible in Architecture provides a rigorous survey of the fundamental cultural tropes in present-day architecture and highlights the versatility of the discipline, avoiding a one-sided emphasis on technique and design at the expense of the intellectual and tactile dimensions. Architecture and its cultural context are presented as completely interwoven, without losing sight of the architectural specificity. The book is co-authored by Roemer van Toorn.
