Building on the success of the first edition; an engaging and
reader-friendly work on complex ideas, Introducing Architectural
Theory: Expanding the Disciplinary Debate broadens the range of
themes, voices, and geographies represented, to provide a more
comprehensive and contemporary theory book. This book presents
major discourses in architectural theory and design in a
debate-like format, integrating a series of edited texts across
architectural history with context and newly written commentaries
by the authors. This new edition has been fully revised, updated
and expanded to include long-standing debates, such as simplicity
vs. complexity or the relationship between form and function, as
well as newer discussions on innovation, globalization, and social
equity. Authors Smith and Guitart provide a comprehensive means and
conceptual framework for readers to compare multiple points of
view. The chapter structure, discussion questions, and additional
resources allow teachers to facilitate in-class discussions and
writing assignments. Introducing Architectural Theory: Expanding
the Disciplinary Debate remains the most accessible architectural
theory textbook, written for beginning architecture students and
those outside the discipline. Its reflective and critical approach
will equally engage the minds of upper-level students and experts.
