Words vs Images

What is lost in architecture’s obsession with images?

Is it possible to write as well as draw architecture?

What different perspectives can the written word open up for architects?

Why should architects care about writing and literature?

Drawing on his experience across both worlds, Timothy Alouani-Roby will set out a series of provocations, arguing that in architecture, the word is as important as the image.

Timothy is a writer and the Editor of Indesignlive and Habitusliving. Having worked in elite professional sport for over a decade, he retrained in architecture at the University of Sydney, adding to previous degrees in philosophy, politics and English literature. Originally from Northern England, Timothy is also a student of Moroccan Arabic and divides his time between Gadigal-Sydney and Marrakech.
