Architecture Is All Over investigates architecture's simultaneous
diminishment and ubiquity in the early twenty-first century. As a
diagnostic and tactical guide, this collection features original
texts and design proposals from emerging and established scholars
and practitioners in the fields of architecture, art, the history
of science, media studies, and philosophy. Together these pieces
probe architecture's relationship to liminal zones and immaterial
systems, reframing instability and mutability as enduring qualities
that form architecture's motive core-a perspectival shift that
carries with it new possibilities for architectural agency and
resistance. The pieces in this book range from contrarian
investigations of the opportunities inherent in scarcity,
bureaucracy, and banality to projections of architecture as a
mediatic practice or automated process. Case studies that propose
new architectural strategies are placed alongside provocative
historical examples to tease out the implications of architecture's
indeterminacy in agonistic ways. In each contribution, a particular
facet of the discipline's apparent obsolescence or endurance
becomes a way to critically evaluate the ethical and
entrepreneurial dimensions of architectural practice and theory.
Taken together, the pieces in this volume reinterpret
architecture's "all-over-ness" as an untapped disciplinary property
rather than a temporary or terminal condition.
