Perspective as Logic offers an architectural examination of the
filmic screen as an ontologically unique element in the
discipline’s repertoire. The book determines the screen’s
conditions of possibility by critically asking not what a screen
means, but how it can mean anything of architectural significance.
Based on this shift of enquiry towards the question of meaning, it
introduces Jacques Lacan and Alain Badiou in an unprecedented way
to architecture—since they exemplify an analogous shift of
perspective towards the question of the subject and the question of
being accordingly. The book begins by positing perspective
projection as being a logical mapping of space instead of a matter
of sight (Alberti & Lacan). Secondly, it discusses the very
nature of architecture’s view and relation to the topological
notion of outside between immediacy and mediation (Diller and
Scofidio, The Slow House). It examines the limitation of pictorial
illusion and the productive negativity in the suspension of
architecture’s signified equivalent to language’s production of
undecidable propositions (Eisenman & Badiou). In addition, the
book outlines the difference between the point of view and the
vanishing point by introducing two different conceptions of
infinity (Michael Webb, Temple Island). Finally, a series of design
experiments playfully shows how the screen exemplifies
architecture’s self-reflexive capacity where material and
immaterial components are part of the spatial conception to which
they refer and produce. This book will be particularly appealing to
scholars of architectural theory, especially those interested in
the domains of philosophy, psychoanalysis and the linguistic turn
of architecture.
