Architectural discourse and practice are dominated by a false
dichotomy between design and chance, and governed by the belief
that the architect's role is to defend against the indeterminate.
In Architectures of Chance Yeoryia Manolopoulou challenges this
position, arguing for the need to develop a more creative
understanding of chance as aesthetic experience and critical
method, and as a design practice in its own right. Examining the
role of experimental chance across film, psychoanalysis,
philosophy, fine art and performance, this is the first book to
comprehensively discuss the idea of chance in architecture and
bring a rich array of innovative practices of chance to the
attention of architects. Wide-ranging and through a symbiotic
interplay of drawing and text, Architectures of Chance makes
illuminating reading for those interested in the process and
experience of design, and the poetics and ethics of chance and
space in the overlapping fields of architecture and the aleatoric
arts.
