Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Brought together for the first time - the seminal writing on architecture by key philosophers and cultural theorist of the twentieth century.
Issues around the built environment are increasingly central to the study of the social sciences and humanities. The essays offer a refreshing take on the question of architecture and provocatively rethink many of the accepted tenets of architecture theory from a broader cultural perspective.
The book represents a careful selection of the very best theoretical writings on the ideas which have shaped our cities and our experiences of architecture. As such,nbsp;Rethinkingnbsp;Architecture provides invaluable core source material for students on a range of courses.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Modernism -- Phenomenology -- Structuralism -- Postmodernism -- Poststructuralism.
