Rethinking Architecture

brings together for the first time the principal writings on

architecture by many of the key philosophers and cultural theorists of the twentieth

century.

These essays contain some of the most insightful observations on contemporary.

architecture, and offer refreshingly original perspectives on the subject. Together they

constitute a body of material which prompts the rethinking of many accepted tenets of

architectural theory from a broader cultural perspective.

The editor, Neil Leach, has grouped writings covering common themes and

approaches into well-defined sections, and has written helpful introductions for each

section and for each author.

Neil Leach

is director of the MA in Architecture and Critical Theory at the University

of Nottingham.
