Reconstructing Architecture: Critical Discourses and Social Practices (Volume 5) (Pedagogy and Cultural Practice)

Book by

This exciting new book, which analyzes, criticizes, and strategizes contemporary cutting-edge design theories in the field of architecture, is probably the best book available on the complicated field of architectural theory of the past 30 years. Part of a series of books on critical pedagogy published by the University of Minnesota Press in an effort to make classroom teaching and learning worldwide an active rather than a passive process, this book is a gold mine of research and opinion. Feminism, ecology, deconstruction, critical theory (including critical pedagogy), and social design are all weighed with intelligence by accomplished academics.
