Sommario/riassunto

Jerre Wills was in his late teens when he began feeling something tugging at his shirt-tail, and finally pulling with the force of a 300 pound barn-door halibut heading for deep water on the end of a fishing line.Whatever the powerful pull was, its 5,000 mile beckon, brought the young Wills family to Alaska in March of 1959.

Sommario/riassunto

This book seeks to revise and revive architectural theory through psychoanalysis as well to apply psychoanalytic theory to architecture. Its authors argue for Lacan’s central importance for a comprehensive



theory of building and suggest how architectural theory might offer new resources for psychoanalytic theorists. They address both the perceived crisis in the contemporary state of architecture and architectural theory as well as crises in society at large, including political and economic fracture and instability and threats to mental health and well-being. It offers fresh insights to architects, architectural educators, scholars of psychoanalysis, and anyone interested in the human condition in relation to the built environment. John Shannon Hendrix is Professor of Art and Architectural History at Cummings School of Architecture, Roger Williams University, United States. He is the author and editor of numerous articles and books including Architecture and the Unconscious (2016, with Lorens Eyan Holm) and Architecture and Psychoanalysis (2006). Francesco Proto is Senior Lecturer in Architecture at Oxford Brookes University, UK. He is the author of numerous articles and books including Baudrillard for Architects (2019).
