In architecture, composition refers to the conception of a building
according to principles of regularity and hierarchy, or according
to the principles of obtaining equilibrium. However, it is not
until the beginning of the nineteenth century that the notion of
composition becomes truly associated with architectural conception,
notably under the influence of Jean-Nicolas-Louis Durand and his
statement on the Marche a suivre dans la composition d'un project
quelconque [Procedure to be followed in the composition of any
project]. The concept quickly erodes during the twentieth century,
with the adoption of neutral architectural devices, the use of
aggregative processes, and the adoption of "objective" operations,
all of which can be understood as an attempt to move beyond
compositional principles. In Composition, Non-Composition, Jacques
Lucan invites his readers to consider this novel historical
perspective of architectural theory. The author describes the
interaction of ideas that often clash with one another, with some
that fade away as others emerge, thus offering invaluable keys to
understanding contemporary architecture. Although this book is
primarily addressed to students of architecture, it will also
appeal to architects, historians of architecture, as well as to the
interested public.
