There are a number of recent texts that draw on psychoanalytic
theory as an interpretative approach for understanding
architecture, or that use the formal and social logics of
architecture for understanding the psyche. But there remains work
to be done in bringing what largely amounts to a series of
independent voices, into a discourse that is greater than the sum
of its parts, in the way that, say, the architect Peter Eisenman
was able to do with the architecture of deconstruction or that the
historian Manfredo Tafuri was able to do with the Marxist critique
of architecture. The discourse of the present volume focuses
specifically for the first time on the subject of the unconscious
in relation to the design, perception, and understanding of
architecture. It brings together an international group of
contributors, who provide informed and varied points of view on the
role of the unconscious in architectural design and theory and, in
doing so, expand architectural theory to unexplored areas,
enriching architecture in relation to the humanities. The book
explores how architecture engages dreams, desires, imagination,
memory, and emotions, how architecture can appeal to a broader
scope of human experience and identity. Beginning by examining the
historical development of the engagement of the unconscious in
architectural discourse, and the current and historical,
theoretical and practical, intersections of architecture and
psychoanalysis, the volume also analyses the city and the urban
condition.
