The Power of Process by Chris Rogers

The Power of Process by Chris Rogers

The Power of Process explores Michael Pearson's fascinating career, from his work in British architecture in the 1960s and 70s through to his innovative projects of the 90s to the present. Michael Pearson is past President of the Architectural Association, London's prestigious architecture school. The Power of Process sets out the importance of Michael Pearson and his work, from his initial work within the family firm, his teaching and presidency of the Architectural Association, to small-scale artists' studios and large-scale hospital planning, to the first thorough appreciation of Burne House, his most important work.

The title The Power of Process, refers to Michael Pearson's abiding concern for 'process' in modern architecture -- that is, how the conception and making of architecture is driven by information systems, the inter-connectedness between a buildings use, how it is manufactured and, importantly how its use can adapt and change over time. As such, his interest in process puts him at the forefront of the British High-Tech architecture, more famously associated with Richard Rogers and Norman Foster.

Chris Rogers is a University of York Leverhulme Early Career Fellow. In 2012, he published his first book, The IMF and European Economies: Crisis and Conditionality. Chris is now working on a research project on mutual organization's political economics.
