Summary:
Philosopher and critic Kingwell wants us to see cities whole, as massive efforts to establish order and make all that we desire possible, in short, the culmination of civilization. Beginning with high praise for much-maligned concrete, Kingwell writes about architecture and the synergy of cities with intellectual and aesthetic rigor as well as a poet’s sensibility, always returning from the esoteric to the sensuous. Anecdotal and animated, Kingwell is particularly revelatory in his discussion of thresholds between public and private spaces, interiors and exteriors, and in his explication of the interplay of “consciousness, architecture, and politics” that shapes cities.

It assembles a selection of various gendered and sexual positions, all seeking support, love, and intimacy in linguistic, architectural, and bodily structures while under threat of collapse.
