Gathering twenty essays written over twenty years, Figments of the
Architectural Imagination explores the frontiers of speculative
architectural design, theory, and pedagogy to offer clear-eyed and
incisive treatments of some of the most important projects,
practices, and polemics at work making contemporary architecture
contemporary. These sharp and insightful texts, whether addressing
the impact of digital technology, the design of an effective hotel,
the emergence of the Los Angeles vanguard, or the proper execution
of a thesis project, combine frontline reportage, archival
scholarship, trenchant prose, and impressive critical acumen to cut
through the cacophony of recent architectural discourse with
uncommon clarity, intelligence, rigor, and wit. Taken together,
these essays provide essential orientation for practitioners,
academics, students, and aficionados hoping to understand how
contemporary architecture came to be where it is and to speculate
on where it might go next.
