This book argues that architecture and the city and their processes
can be better understood by drawing categories from disciplines
that exceed the architectural and urban cultural context. It
performs an open intellectual reading that traverses architecture
and architectural theory, but also art theory and history,
cartography, philosophy, literature and cultural studies, to unfold
a series of 'figures' that are ambiguously placed between the
representation and the construction of space in architecture and
the city. The paradigm and philosophy, the island and the city, the
map and representation, the model and making and the questioning of
form performed by dust, are explored beyond their definition, as
processes that differently make space between architecture and the
city and are proposed as unorthodox analytic techniques to decipher
contemporary spatial complexity. The book analyses how these
'figures' have been employed at different times and in different
creative disciplines, beyond architecture and in relation to
changing notions of space, and traces the role that they have
played in the shift towards the dynamic that has taken place in
contemporary theory and design research. What emerges is the idea
of an 'architecture of the city' that is not only physical but is
largely defined by the way in which its physical spaces are
regulated, lived and perceived, but also imagined and projected.
