Theorizing a New Agenda for Architecture

An Anthology of Architectural Theory 1965–1995

Kate Nesbitt Ed(s)

Theorizing a New Agenda for Architecture: An Anthology of Architectural Theory 1965–1995 collects in a single volume the most significant essays on architectural theory during the period 1965–1995. A dynamic period of reexamination of the discipline, the postmodern era produced widely divergent and radical viewpoints on issues of making, meaning, history and the city. Among the paradigms presented are architectural postmodernism, phenomenology, semiotics, poststructuralism, deconstruction and feminism.

Includes writings by Tadao Ando, Giulio Carlo Argan, Alan Colquhoun, Jacques Derrida, Peter Eisenman, Marco Frascari, Kenneth Frampton, Diane Ghirardo, Vittorio Gregotti, Karsten Harries, Rem Koolhaas, Christian Norberg-Schulz, Aldo Rossi, Colin Rowe, Thomas Schumacher, Ignasi de Solá-Morales Rubió, Bernard Tschumi, Robert Venturi and Denise Scott Brown, and Anthony Vidler. A bibliography and notes on all the contributors are also included.
