The Production Sites of Architecture examines the intimate link
between material sites and meaning. It explores questions such as:
how do spatial configurations produce meaning? What are alternative
modes of knowledge production? How do these change our
understanding of architectural knowledge? Featuring essays from an
international range of scholars, the book accepts that everything
about the production of architecture has social significance. It
focuses on two areas: firstly, relationships of spatial
configuration, form, order and classification; secondly, the
interaction of architecture and these notions with other areas of
knowledge, such as literature, inscriptions, interpretations, and
theories of classification, ordering and invention. Moving beyond
perspectives which divide architecture into either an aesthetic or
practical art, the authors show how buildings are informed by
intersections between site and content, space and idea, thought and
materiality, architecture and imagination. Presenting illustrated
case studies of works by architects and artists including Amale
Andraos, Dan Wood, OMA, Koen Deprez and John Soane, The Production
Sites of Architecture makes a major contribution to our
understanding of architectural theory.
