This book is motivated by two questions: Why do dismissed affective
evidence persist as troubling experience or imaginaries? What would
it mean for architecture to assemble such discrepant evidence into
its discourse? Arguing that the persistent refrains of lived affect
dwell in architecture, this book traces such refrains to a concept
of architecture wedged in the middle ground-jammed amidst life,
things and events. Rather than being apart from its surrounds,
architecture-in-the-midst challenges an autonomous epistemology.
Beyond accounting for the vivid but excluded, this book develops a
frame and a disposition for thinking critically about,
speculatively through, and being grounded by, encounter. Examining
affect through a constellation of spaces in contemporary Singapore,
it details architecture's uneasy but inextricable relationship with
key subjects relegated to the incommensurate, the peripheral, the
scenic and the decorative. The outcome is a politicised
architectural discourse simultaneously grounded and speculative:
bridging depth and intuition, thinking and feeling.
