About the Author
Alberto Pérez-Gómez is a distinguished architectural historian and theorist whose work bridges philosophy, architecture, and cultural studies. Born in Mexico and educated in Canada, he has profoundly influenced contemporary discourse on space, memory, and the built environment. As a professor emeritus at McGill University's School of Architecture, Pérez-Gómez explores how architectural forms embody philosophical ideas and historical narratives. His interdisciplinary approach draws from phenomenology, semiotics, and hermeneutics to challenge conventional design paradigms. Through rigorous scholarship and eloquent prose, he advocates for architecture as a poetic and ethical practice. Notable for his contributions to the Chora series, Pérez-Gómez continues to inspire architects, philosophers, and scholars worldwide with his insightful analyses of spatial imagination and human experience.
