The essays consider the contemporary architectural scene from a
variety of perspectives in theory and practice. They include
seminal pieces that framed important debates in the field, such as
the introduction to the exhibition catalogue Monolithic
Architecture, as well as observations on buildings and practices
from around the world, from Santiago, to Beirut and Beijing.
Together, the polemical provocations and interpretive insights
construct a critical panorama of a global architectural landscape
in rapid transformation since the 1990s. * The book is divided into
there parts. "Polemics" addresses broad issues and trends with
essays that claim a position in current debates. "Agents" examines
the oeuvres of particular architects, with pieces that situate
their work in relation to such debates. "Artifacts" takes on single
buildings, instances where ideas are sedimented into form to
situate current architectural discussions in concrete objects.
