and issues raised by all major art forms. Stimulating, engaging and

contemporary aesthetic and philosophical views of architecture. It
considers, with stimulating insight and great clarity, how
Classicism, Modernism, Structuralism, Post-structuralism and
Situationism have influenced architectural aesthetics and shaped
our view of the built environment. It also explores the challenges
to the various intellectual and cultural movements that inform how
people create and look at buildings. The book moves on to
investigate the aesthetic qualities, demands and approaches
specific to architecture and architectural thinking, concluding
with 'a programme for contemporary architecture'. Anyone studying
or interested in architecture or philosophical aesthetics will find
this book a rich source of ideas, insight and information.
Combining a clear and engaging style with a sophisticated treatment
of a fascinating subject, Aesthetics and Architecture" is a
valuable contribution to contemporary aesthetics - one that
revitalises the way we look at the form, purpose and meaning of our
built environment.>
