`Accounts` is a record of an extended conversation that took place among the members and invited guests of the AE Foundation in the first five years of its activity. It includes lectures, discussions and interviews with prominent figures, emerging architects and educators. Beginning with Doubt, Authorship, Architecture, City, Buildings, History and Resistance, the conversation continued to explore the many and varied schools of thought that occupy the discipline. This book is the result of the spontaneous enthusiasm that erupts when sincere individuals meet to discuss their favourite subject seriously.
