Alan Balfour (born 1939 in Edinburgh, Scotland) is an Emeritus Professor of Architecture and award-winning author of books on architecture and the cultural imagination.
Alan Balfour's work explores the relationship between cities and their buildings and desires in the culture that shaped them. A central theme in his writing is the concept of man-made environments as "landscapes of desire," reflecting both positive and negative aspects of society. Balfour's approach integrates architectural analysis with social history, examining how the physical characteristics of cities and buildings embody prevalent cultural and societal desires. This theme is exemplified in two of his works, ''Berlin: The Politics of Orde''r and ''Classical Edinburgh: A City Divided''.
Balfour's books are notable for their equal emphasis on architectural details and social historical context, providing a comprehensive view of urban development and its cultural significance.
