ABSTRACT
The main chapters of this book call attention to thinkers in architecture (architects and theorists) who have explored how Freud can contribute to the understanding of architecture. Considering writings that further explore or broaden the psychoanalytic and architectural contexts for some of the concepts in Freud for Architects, additional reading might begin with Psychoanalysis and Space 2008, Martin and Holm, (eds.), particularly the chapter titled “Architectural Space-Form-Empathy Shadows the Unconscious”, by the author. Similarly, additional reading might include “That ‘oceanic feeling’: Architectural Formlessness, Otherness, and Being Everything”, and “Architectural Envelopment and the Late Avante-garde: The New, Critical Mimesis, and Indentification” also by the author, in With Silence Implying Sound, 2010, Pavlovits (ed.). Moreover, Translation and the Nature of Philosophy, 1989 (2014), by Andrew Benjamin, the philosopher and architecture theorist, explores how being and becoming are represented in avant-garde works. Benjamin draws from one of Freud's early papers on the deferred effects of repression (Nachträglichkeit) to explain the representation of being and becoming in particular works.
