Présentation de l'éditeur
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 i ek, Irigaray, Lefebvre, Lyotard, Kristeva, Nancy, Virilio, Deleuze and Negri.
