Adam Caruso is not only a member, together with Peter St John, of the London-based architecture office Caruso St John but also a prolific author who has focused his thoughts on the practice of architecture and who has taken a new look at some of the leading figures of the so-called other tradition in the Modern Movement. In Sigurd Lewerentz and a material basis for form (1997), The Tyranny of the New (1998), The Feeling of Things (1999), The Emotional City (2000), and Towards an Ontology of Construction (2002), we find a new perception of the radical approach adopted in modern and contemporary architecture.
