Sommario/riassunto

The essays collected in this groundbreaking volume address the current state of architecture as an academic and professional discipline.



Often critical of the current paradigm, these essays offer a provocative challenge to accepted assumptions about the production, dissemination, and reception of architectural knowledge.
