We connected off the back of my previous conversation with Hans van der Heijden – with whom he had spoken on Drawing Matters last summer. Specifically, Andreas and I spoke about his book, Thinking Design: Blueprint for an Architecture of Typology (Park Books 2021), a book which combines theoretical reflection on architectural teaching with an illustrated visual atlas of 144 projects – all drawn orthographically and with no photographs – which serves as invitation to explore architectural design through the lens of typology – somewhat maligned in an age of humanised fun, grandiosity, pomp and intellectual frilliness - arguing as I read it for something a bit more normal - the primacy of form as the core of the discipline. Andreas’s practice can be found here , and he is on LinkedIn and Instagram . His conversation with the super Hans on Drawing Matters is here . The book is linked above. + Music credits: ⁠Bruno Gillick Image credits: 1: © Andreas Lechner, 2: © Andreas Lechner, Park Books, 3 © TU Graz. #ArchitecturalTypology #ThinkingDesign #ArchitecturePodcast #BuildingTypology #AndreasLechner","meta_description":"In Episode 194 of the A is for Architecture Podcast , architect and writer and Andreas Lechner, Associate Professor of Design and Building Theory at TU Gr…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3461,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/a-is-for-architecture-podcast-4885985/episodes/andreas-lechner-forms-and-typologies/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/a-is-for-architecture-podcast-4885985/andreas-lechner-forms-and-typologies.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
