The Boundaries of Our Habitation

by Kyle Dugdale

How might we best articulate architecture’s legitimate ends? And what are its boundaries?
Is this whole world not, after all, fundamentally a world of our own design? Do we not inhabit environments — built and imagined—that are increasingly shaped and controlled, for better or for worse, by our own actions?

Kyle Dugdale

Kyle Dugdale is an architect and theorist, with particular interest in architecture’s claims to metaphysical significance. He is a graduate of Corpus Christi College, Oxford; of Harvard’s Graduate School of Design; and of the Yale School of Architecture, where he teaches history, theory, and design. In 2015 he received Yale University’s Theron Rockwell Field Prize for his doctoral dissertation, “Architecture After the Death of God: Uriel Birnbaum’s Der Kaiser und der Architekt.”
