Summary:
The work presented in this book is an invitation to undertake an urgent architectural and political thought experiment: to rethink today’s struggles for justice and equality not only from the historical perspective of revolution, but also from that of a continued struggle for decolonization; consequently, to rethink the problem of political subjectivity not from the point of view of a Western conception of a liberal citizen but rather from that of the displaced and extraterritorial refugee. You will not find here descriptions of popular uprising, armed resistance, or political negotiations, despite these of course forming an integral and necessary part of any radical political transformation. Instead, the authors present a series of provocative projects that try to imagine “the morning after revolution.”

Il ne s'étend pas seulement aux pays romans, mais saisit de la même façon l'Allemagne, les Pays-Bas, la Scandinavie, les pays d'Europe de l'est, et fonde une des racines les plus importantes de l'architecture anglaise des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles. Et bien que Palladio se soit concentré sur la «pure» architecture pendant toute son oeuvre, les formes qu'il a créées ont marqué d'autres domaines de leur empreinte, notamment celui des meubles d'art anglais du XIXe siècle.

''Architecture and Modern Life'' is a collection of essays by influential architect and educator W. R. Lethaby (1857–1931). In these writings, Lethaby foreshadows Le Corbusier and marks a fascinating transitional point between 19th- and 20th-century architectural thought.

In these writings, Lethaby foreshadows Le Corbusier and marks a fascinating transitional point between 19th- and 20th-century architectural thought. With radical foresight, he argues for an “efficiency style” in architecture, for towns that cultivate vitality, and against the science of “profit grinding and grabbing.” Often eerily prescient, phrases such as “there is a culture war going forward” and “There is much talk of Housing at the present time, but it is a case of much talk and little house” could be taken from today’s newspapers. The profound importance of these texts lies in Lethaby’s vision of art and design grounded not in style-novelty or aesthetic theory (“the mystification of architecture”) but in “some reality like health, serviceableness, or even perfect cheapness.”

Summary:
In the discussion of architecture, the prevailing sentiment of the past three decades has been that cultural production can no longer be understood to arise spontaneously, as a matter of social course, but is constructed through ever more self-conscious theoretical procedures. The development of interpretive modes of various stripes--poststructuralist, Marxian, phenomenological, psychoanalytic, as well as others dissenting or eccentric--has given scholars a range of tools for rethinking architecture in relation to other fields and for reasserting architecture's general importance in intellectual discourse. This long-awaited anthology is in some sense a sequel to Joan Ockman's "Architecture Culture 1943-1968, A Documentary Anthology" (1993). It presents forty-seven of the primary texts of contemporary architecture theory, introducing each by detailing the concepts and categories necessary for its understanding and evaluation. It also presents twelve documents of projects or events that had major theoretical repercussions for the period. Several of the essays appear here in English for the first time.
