After Hernán Díaz Alonso’s introduction, Bernard Tschumi discusses various ways that architects happen to produce books: studio compendia; artists books; essay collections; collections of earlier buildings, designs, and ideas – as opportunities to reflect and discover what one thinks and does. Moreover, he argues that the Event-Cities series of collections of his work - Volume 1: Praxis (1994), Volume 2 (2000), Volume 3: Concept vs. Context vs. Content (2005), Volume 4: Concept-Form (2010), Volume 5: Poetics (2024) – also provide a way of organizing ones archive so that one can discern how projects were done.

At 23:55, Díaz Alonso engages Tschumi in conversation on his career, its relevance in current architectural discourse, issues of representation, poetics, ethics, and fun.
