Niche Tactics aligns architecture's relationship with site with its
ecological analogue: the relationship between an organism and its
environment. Bracketed between texts on giraffe morphology,
ecological perception, ugliness, and hopeful monsters,
architectural case studies investigate historical moments when
relationships between architecture and site were productively
intertwined, from the anomalous city designs of Francesco de Marchi
in the sixteenth century to Le Corbusier's near eradication of
context in his Plan Voisin in the twentieth century to the more
recent contextualist movements. Extensively illustrated with 140
drawings and photographs, Niche Tactics considers how attention to
site might create a generative language for architecture today.
