Synopsis
A collection of illuminating essays exploring what theory makes of architecture and what architecture makes of theory in philosophical and materialized contexts. From poststructuralism and deconstruction to current theories of technology and nature, critical theory has long been closely aligned with architecture. In turn, architecture as a thinking profession materializes theory in the form of built work that always carries symbolic loads. In this collection of essays, Catherine Ingraham studies the complex connectivity between architecture's discipline and practice and theories of philosophy, art, literature, history, and politics. She argues that there can be no architecture without theory. Whether considering architecture's relationship to biomodernity or exploring the ways in which contemporary artists and designers engage in figural play, Ingraham offers provocative interpretations that enhance our understanding of both critical theory and architectural practice today. Along the way, she engages with a wide range of contemporary theorists, including Giorgio Agamben, Judith Butler, Jacques Derrida, Graham Harman, and Timothy Morton, considering buildings around the world, including the Palace of Culture in Warsaw, the Viceroy's House complex in New Delhi, Mack Scogin and Merrill Elam's Wolfsburg Science Center project in Germany, and the Superdome in New Orleans. Approaching its subject matter from multiple angles, Architecture's Theory shows how architecture's theoretical and artifactual practices have a unique power to alter culture., Architecture's Theory is about what architecture makes of theory and what theory makes of architecture. The task for architectural theorists in any epoch, Ingraham argues, is to unearth prevailing architectural ideas and practices in order to rethink them in relation to contemporary contexts: ideas and practices such as the vicissitudes of architectural forms (placid, charismatic, monstrous); architectural techniques and apparatuses; aspects of precedents-modernist, postmodernist, digital. The book poses questions about the status of nature and reframes architectural design as a form of figural play that incorporates the coolness of judgment. The concept of ordering also threads through these essays, since ordering both creates and manages calculability, narratives, ornamentation, power, representation, structures, walls, and windows. Ingraham maintains that without theory, nascent or active, there can be no architecture.
