About this Item

14 × 20 cm, 5 ½ × 7 ¾ in 264 pages, 48 illustrations - This book relays a passionate debate between some of the most outstanding theoreticians and eloquent protagonists of this new attitude, leaving us with an overview of such postulated ambitions. Against the liberal anything goes and the revival of architectural autonomy, these attitudes believe less in the possibility for even the most experimental architectural object to have a changing effect on society. Their approaches instead vary from activism to the construction of new critical narratives.

About this title

Synopsis

This book relays the passionate debate between some of architecture and urbanism's most outstanding theoreticians and protagonists on the production of space in the era of rampant capitalism.

Review

Against the postmodern or post-historic ‘anything goes’, [the authors] promote a concordance of conceptualisation, methodological integration and critical action, interwoven with a renewed interest about the structural and typological formation of spaces. (Mihai Serban Designabilities)
