The architectures of capitalist development's present phase
manifest themselves through a very diverse range of episodes: data
centers, warehouses, container terminals, logistics parks.
Generally considered as mediocre and banal examples that sit
outside of pre-established disciplinary canons, these artifacts are
extremely relevant. They are relevant not for their formal or
historic qualities, but for what they represent - for the implicit
system of values they embed. They express specific power relations,
exacerbate issues of labor, and generate processes of subjectivity.
Most importantly, these architectures, despite their formal and
typological diversity, share a common ground. They depict a sort of
inner and extended paradigm: the EXTERIORLESS. How can an
architecture of the EXTERIORLESS be defined? How does it
differentiate from examples and manifestations of the past? How do
notions of legibility, form vs. function, typological articulation,
come into play? In situating the architectures of contemporary
capitalism within the larger debate on Anthropocene, Post-
Anthropocene and Capitalocene, this book attempts to answer those
questions by delineating three main characteristics for an
architecture of the EXTERIORLESS: its physical and symbolic role as
interface; its ambiguous condition of being at the same time local
and global, isolated and connected, compressed and expanded; and,
lastly, its contribution to new forms of urbanity in absence of the
traditional city. These three aspects-Interface, Expanded Domains,
and New Forms of Urbanity-constitute the three main sections of the
book. Each section includes two chapters and examines one specific
aspect of the EXTERIORLESS paradigm. Defining its three main
characteristics, this book covers a wide spectrum of themes and
examples. It describes the influence that the experimental
architecture of the 1960s has exerted on late-capitalist spatial
products; it analyzes the impact of logistics on the redesign of
the territory; it introduces new forms of global urbanity generated
by the EXTERIORLESS. Written for students and scholars of
architectural history, theory and criticism, Stefano Corbo
contextualizes the concept of EXTERIORLESS and its role in
contemporary architecture, its obedience to macro-economic
dynamics, and its possible future.
