David Chipperfi eld.<br />
Form Matters<br />
Introduction by Deyan Sudjic. Essays by David Chipperfi eld<br />
This publication was initiated by David Chipperfi eld who also is responsible for concept<br />
and design. In four chapters he refers to topics he also writes on: ‘On Form’, ‘Language’,<br />
‘Composition’, and ‘Materiality’. He did also choose for the images and architectural<br />
sketches and drawings.<br />
Ω ‘As architects we must both be part of and stand apart from the culture within<br />
which we operate. To be effective we must embrace power but also distance ourselves,<br />
we must engage in dialogue and we must refuse to listen, we must explore<br />
the familiar and the unfamiliar, we must embrace history and reject it. Finally we<br />
must resolve our ideas in matter and form.’ (David Chipperfi eld)<br />
David Chipperfi eld presents a very personal ‘notebook’ that follows no fi xed system,<br />
but rather documents the realisation of formal ideas from his own viewpoint, using<br />
sketches, plans and illustrations of built and unbuilt projects—a personal statement on<br />
his work to date. He explores the relationship between form and matter, both conceptually<br />
and in its concrete realisation in architecture.<br />
David Chipperfi eld legt ein ganz persönliches „Notizbuch“ vor, das keiner festgelegten<br />
Systematik folgt, sondern aus seiner eigenen Sicht die Umsetzung von formalen<br />
Ideen mit Skizzen, Plänen und Abbildungen von gebauten sowie ungebauten Projekten<br />
dokumentiert.<br />
