Building/Object addresses the space in between the conventional
objects of design and the conventional objects of architecture,
probing and reassessing the differences between the disciplines of
design history and architectural history Each of the 13 chapters in
this book examine things which are neither object-like nor
building-like, but somewhere in between – air conditioning;
bookshelves; partition walls; table-monuments; TVs; convenience
stores; cars – exposing particular political configurations and
resonances that otherwise might be occluded. In doing so, they
reveal that the definitions we make of objects in opposition to
buildings, and of architecture in opposition to design, are not as
fundamental as they seem. This book brings new aspects of the
creative and experiential into our understanding of the human
environment.
