| Description: |
A valuable contribution to the debates surrounding architectural history and theory, this work provides a critical analysis of three contemporary architects, which combines with a vigorously held theoretical position to question the state of contemporary architecture. |
| Synopsis: |
Looking back over the twentieth century, Hartoonian discusses the work of three major architects: Peter Eisenman, Frank Gehry and Bernard Tschumi, in reference to their theoretical positions and historicizes present architecture in the context of the ongoing secularization of the myths surrounding the traditions of nineteenth century architecture in general, and, in particular, Gottfried Semper's discourse on the tectonic. Providing a valuable contribution to the current debates surrounding architectural history and theory, this passionately written book makes valuable reading for any architect. |
