Synopsis
Rethinking Modernity: Towards Post-Rational Architecture challenges the foundational assumptions of modernist architecture and proposes a bold reimagining of design beyond the constraints of rationalism. In an era marked by ecological crisis, cultural plurality, and technological disruption, this book questions whether the modernist ideals of logic, order, and functionalism still serve the complex realities of the built environment.

140 Photos (illustrateur). Has the project to usher in Modernity run its full course and is now ready to be replaced by something called Post-Modern Re-examining the very idea of Modernity in architecture and drawing from a number of diverse sources such as philosophy social science art and technology Prof Mehta argues that the normal historical progression of architectural thought and production suffered an epistemological break in mid-18th century caused by the separation between architecture and engineering and resulted in increasing rationalization of architecture Critical writings of several post-Renaissance scholars and academicians aided this process Prof Mehta refers to this as Academic Architecture While the pre-Renaissance scholars were content to codify the practice of architecture the new writings actively sought to construct an identity of architecture to align it with modern science and industry The overwhelming need to validate architecture from the logico-mathematical perspective favored the cerebral over the existential qualities of architectureProf Mehta asserts that alternatives to the rationalist and positivist narratives always existed in the West and also in several non-Western cultures but the very strong foregrounding of Rationalism confined them to the academia His insightful analysis indicates that the contours of Post Rational architecture are already visible in the works of several contemporary architects 156 pp. N° de réf. du vendeur 91487
