Over the last decade, critical theories of different kinds have had an enormous impact on many different disciplines and practices. Intersections is the first book to survey comprehensively this impact on Architecture, providing sixteen essays that intersect a particular critical theory with specific architectural ideas, projects and events. An extended essay by the editors gives an in-depth introduction to the subject. Essays range from psychoanalysis and interiors; colonialism and modern urbanism; gender and the renaissance; to heteroptopia and Las Vegas. Contributors come from Europe and the USA, and include Iain Borden, Zeynep Celik, Sarah Chaplin, Beatriz Colomina, Darell Fields, Murray Fraser, Diane Ghirado, Joe Kerr, Clive Knights, Neil Leach, Barbara Penner, Jane Rendell, Katherine Shonfield, Helen Thomas, Jeremy Till, Henry Urbach and Sarah Wigglesworth.

Synopsis:
Intersections represents a newly emergent approach to architectural history that addresses both the relevance of critical theories to an historical understanding of architecture and the development of those theories within the context of architecture. A younger and international group of thinkers in architecture have begun to make connections with critical and cultural theory similar to those undertaken in other fields. They make architecture and its spaces of central concern in an interdisciplinary context and by doing so provide the first single text which brings together the various different concerns and approaches of the new theory-driven architectural history. Neil Leach, Darell W. Fields, Beatriz Colomina, Clive R. Knights, Sarah Wigglesworth, Helen Thomas, Murray Fraser and Joe Kerr, Henry Urbach, Zeynep Celik, Diane Ghirardo, Sarah Chaplin, Iain Borden,
About the Author:
