Theory of architecture; Western philosophy, from c 1900 -

This collection of 15 essays looks critically at how Deleuze challenges architecture as a discipline, how architecture contributes to philosophy and how we can come to understand the complex politics of space of our increasingly networked world. The contributors are a team of international, interdisciplinary contributors, with essays from John Rajchman, Elizabeth Grosz and Brian Massumi. Since the 1980s, Deleuze’s philosophy has fuelled a generation of architectural thinking, and can be seen in the design of a global range of contemporary built environments. His work has also alerted architecture to crucial ecological, political and social problems that the discipline needs to reconcile.

Reviews for Deleuze and Architecture

"Through Deleuze, the editors argue provocatively, even theory 'exhaustion' can produce valuable new engagements with the built-environment. This collection of fascinating essays provides a much-needed overview of architecture and philosophy's very Deleuzian friendship. The issues tackled are highly relevant to the crises of our times. Required reading - especially for non-Deleuzians!-- ""Jane Rendell, The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL"""
