The fourth volume in the series "Kontext Architektur" examines the architectural-theoretical relevance of the concept of "code" from various perspectives. The goal of this book is to arrive at a critical grasp of this concept's vibrant tension between the cultural and the formal, the "outside" and the "inside" of a building.
