JOHN E. M. WHITEMAN, JEFFREY KIPNIS, RICHARD BURDETT - Strategies in Architectural Thinking

Title: Strategies in Architectural Thinking
Description: Chicago Institute for Architecture and Urbanism, 1992. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 256. The authors of these original essays - emerging architectural and cultural critics and practitioners - are engaged in the act of writing back at architecture, heralding the prospect of new conditions, possibilities, and purposes of practice. Tying their work together is the idea that architecture and architectural thinking are inextricably cultural in construction and effect.The essayists suggest that the once supposed autonomy of architecture is an illusion, at best a suspect quality, at worst a mask on a series of transactions and false stabilities that architecture ensures in a culture. Each writer depicts certain operations of power in architecture, aiming the line of a text against it or threading the written line through architecture.John Whiteman is the Director of the Chicago Institute for Architecture and Urbanism where Richard Burdett is Director of Publications.
