Description
This collection of 15 essays looks critically at how Deleuze challenges architecture as a discipline, how architecture contributes to philosophy and how we can come to understand the complex politics of space of our increasingly networked world. The contributors are a team of international, interdisciplinary contributors, with essays from John Rajchman, Elizabeth Grosz and Brian Massumi. Since the 1980s, Deleuze's philosophy has fuelled a generation of architectural thinking, and can be seen in the design of a global range of contemporary built environments. His work has also alerted architecture to crucial ecological, political and social problems that the discipline needs to reconcile.
Reviews / Votes
Through Deleuze, the editors argue provocatively, even theory 'exhaustion' can produce valuable new engagements with the built-environment. This collection of fascinating essays provides a much-needed overview of architecture and philosophy's very Deleuzian friendship. The issues tackled are highly relevant to the crises of our times. Required reading - especially for non-Deleuzians! * Jane Rendell, The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL *More details
