Architectures of Transversality investigates the relationship
between modernity, space, power, and culture in Iran. Focusing on
Paul Klee's Persian-inspired miniature series and Louis Kahn's
unbuilt blueprint for a democratic public space in Tehran, it
traces the architectonics of the present as a way of moving beyond
universalist and nationalist accounts of modernism. Transversality
is a form of spatial production and practice that addresses the
three important questions of the self, objects, and power. Using
Deleuzian and Heideggerian theory, the book introduces the
practices of Klee and Kahn as transversal spatial responses to the
dialectical tension between existential and political territories
and, in doing so, situates the history of the silent, unrepresented
and the unbuilt - constructed from the works of Klee and Kahn - as
a possible solution to the crisis of modernity and identity-based
politics in Iran.
