“Architecture Depends” by Jeremy Till, published in 203, explores the inherent dependencies of architecture on various external factors, such as social, political, economic, and environmental conditions. Till argues that architecture is not an autonomous discipline but is deeply intertwined with the complexities of the real world. He critiques the traditional notion of architectural autonomy and emphasizes the importance of embracing uncertainty, adaptability, and collaboration.

The book encourages architects to move beyond idealized visions and engage with the messy realities of life, suggesting that architecture’s value lies in its ability to respond to and shape the ever-changing contexts in which it exists.

Till also highlights the ethical responsibilities of architects, urging them to consider the broader implications of their work. He advocates for a more inclusive and participatory approach to design, one that acknowledges the diverse needs and voices of communities. By examining case studies and theoretical frameworks, Till challenges conventional practices and calls for a shift towards more resilient and socially responsive architecture. The book ultimately serves as a thought-provoking critique of the profession, pushing architects to rethink their role and the impact of their work on society and the environment.
