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.
