Coverfrom Building IdeasBeginning with a general introduction to the field of architectural theory, covering the interface between philosophy and technology in the production and interpretation of buildings, the book presents the major theoretical positions in contemporary architecture through a series of thematically structured chapters. Each chapter deals with a specific approach to the theory and criticism of architecture by presenting a series of related buildings as illustrations of a key theoretical position, as well as setting this position in a cultural and historical context.
Under the five broad headings of ‘Architecture as Art Aesthetics in Philosophy’, ‘ The Return of the Body – Phenomenology in Architecture’ ‘Systems of Communication – Structuralism and Semiotics’ and Politics and Architecture – The Marxist Tradition’, the book presents a wide but critical survey of the central questions in the current theoretical debate. Providing the theoretical tools necessary for an understanding of the history of philosophies and technologies in architecture, this book is essential reading for undergraduate architectural theory courses as well as a first point of reference for anyone wishing to understand the complex connections between architecture and related fields of cultural enquiry.
