How to Build an Apple Pie by Anne Corlin, Aislinn McCarthy, and Evelyn Agren takes the logic of making as a point of departure for a broader investigation into architectural education, creative process, and the relationship between thinking and doing in design practice.
About This Book
The title is a provocation. Building an apple pie and designing a building share more than the analogy might suggest: both require understanding ingredients and their relationships, sequencing decisions, tolerating ambiguity, and knowing when a process is complete. Corlin, McCarthy, and Agren — researchers and educators working at the intersection of architectural theory and pedagogy — use this premise to open questions about how architects learn to make, how making and thinking relate to each other, and what architectural education might recover from a closer attention to the logic of craft and material process. The book engages with a tradition of design pedagogy that takes the act of making seriously as a form of knowledge production, distinct from but entangled with theoretical reflection.
