Synopsis

Architects and poets alike experiment with writing as a spatial act, using verse and reflection to navigate landscapes both real and imagined. But how does poetry emerge from place, and what knowledge of place can poetry reveal for architects, designers, and spatial practicioners?

This inaugural volume of the Writingplace book series investigates the fertile ground where architecture and poetry meet, revealing how their intersection can deepen our understanding of spatial experience and the making of place.

Poetics of Place brings together literary and spatial perspectives in articles, reflections, and creative works that consider how language itself shapes spatial perception. Poet, educator, and activist contributors - using literature or poetic writing as a means of investigating place - examine how poetry evokes a sense of situatedness and how writing itself can act as a spatial practice.

Through poems, a visual essay, and conversations, Poetics of Place becomes a textured space of its own - one that informs, inspires, and invites place-curious readers of all kinds to experience how poetry and place continually create one another.

This book is a co-publication of nai010 and TU Delft OPEN Publishing.
