Image, Text, Architecture brings a radical and detailed analysis of
the modern and contemporary architectural media, addressing issues
of architectural criticism, architectural photography and the role
of journal editors. It covers examples as diverse as an article by
British artist Paul Nash in The Architectural Review, 1940, an
early project by French architects Lacaton & Vassal published
in the journal 2G, 2001, and recent photography by Hisao Suzuki for
the Spanish journal El Croquis. At the intersection of image and
text the book also reveals the role of the utopian impulse within
the architectural media, drawing on theories of utopian discourse
from the work of the French semiotician and art theorist Louis
Marin, and the American Marxist critic Fredric Jameson. Through
this it builds a fresh theoretical approach to journal studies,
revealing a hitherto unexplored dimension of "latent" or
"unconscious" discourse within the media portrait of architecture.
The purpose of this enquiry is to highlight moments where a
different type of critical voice emerges on the architectural
journal page, indicating the possibility of a more progressive
engagement with the media as a platform for critical and
speculative thinking about architecture, and to rethink the
journals' role within architectural history.
