Exploring the ambiguities of how we define the word 'culture' in
our global society, this book identifies its imprint on
architectural ideas. It examines the historical role of the
cultural in architectural production and expression, looking at
meaning and communication, tracing the formations of cultural
identities. Chapters written by international academics in history,
theory and philosophy of architecture, examine how different modes
of representation throughout history have drawn profound meanings
from cultural practices and beliefs. These are as diverse as the
designs they inspire and include religious, mythic, poetic,
political, and philosophical references.
