Description
A foundational anthology that has shaped contemporary architectural discourse, Architecture Theory since 1968 brings together the most influential theoretical writings that define late twentieth-century architecture.
This comprehensive volume explores how architecture has increasingly engaged with critical theory—drawing from post-structuralism, Marxism, phenomenology, psychoanalysis, and beyond—to reinterpret the built environment within broader cultural and intellectual contexts.
Featuring 47 key theoretical texts and 12 influential project documents, this book introduces essential voices such as Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Rem Koolhaas, and Bernard Tschumi.
Each text is carefully introduced with critical commentary, making it an indispensable resource for students, scholars, and practitioners seeking a deeper understanding of architectural theory.
