TRAMA
The contributions to this book present a range of understandings and responses to architecture, from architects, philosophers, and users of buildings. They show a variety of concerns and obsessions that need to be taken into account if we are to understand how multi-faceted architecture can be. The texts are all accessibly written and are introduced with a substantial and original contribution to the discussion of architecture which ranges in new ways across pragmatism, analytic and continental philosophy, literature and film as well as important architects and architectural thinkers.NOTE EDITORE
Architecture can influence the way we feel, and can help us along as we go about our lives, or sabotage our habitual ways of doing things. The essays collected here challenge, and help to define a view of architecture which ranges from the minimal domesticity of Diogenes' barrel, to the exuberant experiments of the contemporary avant-garde. There are essays by philosophers, architects and art historians, including Roger Scruton, Bernard Tschumi, Demetri Pophyrios, Kenneth Frampton, Diane Ghirardo and David Goldblatt.SOMMARIO
