In the age of post-digital architecture and digital materiality,
This Thing Called Theory explores current practices of
architectural theory, their critical and productive role. The book
is organized in sections which explore theory as an open issue in
architecture, as it relates to and borrows from other disciplines,
thus opening up architecture itself and showing how architecture is
inextricably connected to other social and theoretical practices.
The sections move gradually from the specifics of architectural
thought - its history, theory, and criticism - and their ongoing
relation with philosophy, to the critical positions formulated
through architecture's specific forms of expression, and onto more
recent forms of architecture's engagement and self-definition. The
book's thematic sessions are concluded by and interspersed with a
series of shorter critical position texts, which, together, propose
a new vision of the contemporary role of theory in architecture.
What emerges, overall, is a critical and productive role for theory
in architecture today: theory as a proposition, theory as task and
as a 'risk' of architecture.
