Kenosis Creativity Architecture locates and explores creativitys grounding in the ancient concept of kenosis, the emptying that allows creativity to happen; that makes appearance possible. It concretises that grounding through architecturea primal expression of human creativitycritically examining, for the first time, kenotic instantiations evidenced in four iconic, international projects; works by Kahn, Pei, Ando, and Libeskind. Then, in a final turn, the potentiality of architectures own emptying is probed. Architect and author Randall Lindstrom draws on Western and Eastern philosophy, including that of Heidegger, Levinas, Derrida, Vattimo, Nishida, and Nishitani, as well as on the theology of Christianity, Judaism, and aspects of Buddhism, Hinduism, and Islam. Every chapter expands the argument that, if responsiveness to our world is taken seriouslyif proper and sustainable responses are to be realisedthen a deeper understanding of creativity, and so kenosis, is essential. This book opens-up a way of thinking about creativity and humanitys readiness to be creative. It thereby presents a crucial enquiryat the nexus of architecture, philosophy, and theologyfor researchers, graduate and postgraduate students, and practitioners alike.
