Architecture – Theory Since 1968
Cambridge (Massachusetts), The MIT Press, 1998. 807 pages. Hardcover with dustjacket. In very good condition.
This volume, “Architecture / Theory since 1968,” edited by K. Michael Hays and published by Columbia Books of Architecture, represents a profound anthology that captures the evolution and diversification of architectural theory post-1968. 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.
This anthology is methodically structured, presenting 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.
