Examining discomfort's physical, emotional, conceptual,
psychological and aesthetic dimensions, the contributors to this
volume offer an alternate, cultural approach to the study of
architecture and the built environment. By attending to a series of
disparate instances in which architecture and discomfort intersect,
On Discomfort offers a fresh reading of the negotiations that
define architecture's position in modern culture. The essays do not
chart comfort's triumph so much as discomfort's curious dispersal
into practices that form 'modern life' - and what that dispersion
reveals of both architecture and culture. The essays presented in
this volume illuminate the material culture of discomfort as it
accrues to architecture and its history. This episodic analysis
speaks to a range of disciplinary fields and interdisciplinary
subjects, extending our understanding of the domestication of
interiors (and objects, cities and ideas); and the conditions under
which - by intention or accident - they discomfort.
