Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Architecture Theory is a comprehensive and groundbreaking one volume overview of, and introduction to, contemporary critical discourse in architecture. In bringing critical theory and Continental philosophy to bear upon architecture, it provides a solid framework for a fully up-to-date theory of architecture, one that reflects the latest developments and concerns.
The book is divided into four sections'groundwork; constructing the "individual"; pluralities; instrumentality'each covering a core theme in contemporary architecture theory. In each section an introductory essay by Andrew Ballantyne provides valuable context, exposition, and analysis. This is followed by a selection of writings on architecture and other related cultural concerns from major contemporary thinkers, including Zvizvek, Irigaray, Lefebvre, Lyotard, Kristeva, Nancy, Virilio, Deleuze, and Negri.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Section 1: Powers of Ten -- Section 2: Groundwork -- Section 3: Individual -- Section 4: Pluralities -- Section 5: Relations.
