The book *The Tacit Dimension: Architecture Knowledge and Scientific Research* edited by Lara Schrijver, explores the concept of tacit knowledge in architecture, a perspective originally proposed by Hungarian intellectual Michael Polanyi. The book aims to reconnect architectural practices and theories, enhancing understanding of the built environment as a reflection and shaping of cultures and contexts. It highlights the importance of tacit knowledge, which includes abilities, habits, and assumptions that are equally formative as formal, codified knowledge. The book draws on historical and theoretical insights to address the entanglements between the built environment, cultural habits, and the natural environment, challenging traditional views of architecture education and practice. Key themes include the role of tacit knowledge in teaching and design research, the impact of material knowing, and the relationship between architecture and its epistemes. The book also examines the integration of tacit and explicit knowledge in architectural design, the influence of historical periods on the understanding of tacit knowledge, and the shifting balance between rational and embodied knowing in architecture. The contributors, including Angelika Schnell, Mari Lending, Eireen Schreurs, Tom Avermaete, Margitta Buchert, and Christoph Grafe, provide essays that explore various aspects of tacit knowledge in architecture, such as performative design research, full-scale teaching, transformative dialogues on material knowing, and the role of empathy and embodiment in design. The book concludes with a discussion on the cultural and contextual values materialized in architectural works, emphasizing the need to articulate the tacit dimensions of knowledge in architecture to address contemporary challenges.The book *The Tacit Dimension: Architecture Knowledge and Scientific Research* edited by Lara Schrijver, explores the concept of tacit knowledge in architecture, a perspective originally proposed by Hungarian intellectual Michael Polanyi.
