ArchitectureWeek Description Bernard Tschumi believes that there is no architecture without a concept, an overriding idea that gives coherence and identity to a building. But there is also no architecture without functional content and historical, geographical, and cultural context. Through provocative examples, Tschumi argues that buildings may or may not conform to their settings, but that the decision should always be strategic.
