Winner, Scholarly Illustrated Category, 2007 AAUP Book Jacket and Journal Show. “This is the most thorough architectural ‘crit’ of a hut ever set down, the justification for which is that the hut was the setting in which Martin Heidegger wrote phenomenological texts that became touchstones for late-twentieth-century architectural theory.” —from the foreword by Simon Sadler Beginning in the summer of 1922, philosopher Martin Heidegger (1889-1976) occupied a small, three-room cabin in the Black Forest Mountains of southern Germany. He called it “die Hütte” (“the hut”). Over the years, Heidegger worked on many of his most famous writings in this cabin, from his early lectures to his last enigmatic texts. He claimed an intellectual and emotional intimacy with the building and its surroundings, and even suggested that the landscape expressed itself through him, almost without agency. In Heidegger’s Hut , Adam Sharr explores this intense relationship of thought, place, and person. Heidegger’s mountain hut has been an object of fascination for many, including architects interested in his writings about “dwelling” and “place.” Sharr’s account—the first substantive investigation of the building and Heidegger’s life there—reminds us that, in approaching Heidegger’s writings, it is important to consider the circumstances in which the philosopher, as he himself said, felt “transported” into the work’s “own rhythm.” Indeed, Heidegger’s apparent abdication of agency and tendency toward romanticism seem especially significant in light of his troubling involvement with the Nazi regime in the early 1930s.
