Kenosis Creativity Architecture locates and explores creativity's grounding in the ancient concept of kenosis, the "emptying" that allows creativity to happen; that makes appearance possible.

It concretises that grounding through architecture--a primal expression of human creativity--critically 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 architecture's 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 seriously--if proper and sustainable responses are to be realised--then a deeper understanding of creativity, and so kenosis, is essential.

This book opens-up a way of thinking about creativity and humanity's readiness to be creative. It thereby presents a crucial enquiry--at the nexus of architecture, philosophy, and theology--for researchers, graduate and postgraduate students, and practitioners alike.
