Описание: Architecture Is All Over investigates architectures simultaneous diminishment and ubiquity in the early twenty-first century. As a diagnostic and tactical guide, this collection features original texts and design proposals from emerging and established scholars and practitioners in the fields of architecture, art, the history of science, media studies, and philosophy. Together these pieces probe architectures relationship to liminal zones and immaterial systems, reframing instability and mutability as enduring qualities that form architectures motive core--a perspectival shift that carries with it new possibilities for architectural agency and resistance.
The pieces in this book range from contrarian investigations of the opportunities inherent in scarcity, bureaucracy, and banality to projections of architecture as a mediatic practice or automated process. Case studies that propose new architectural strategies are placed alongside provocative historical examples to tease out the implications of architectures indeterminacy in agonistic ways. In each contribution, a particular facet of the disciplines apparent obsolescence or endurance becomes a way to critically evaluate the ethical and entrepreneurial dimensions of architectural practice and theory. Taken together, the pieces in this volume reinterpret architectures all-over-ness as an untapped disciplinary property rather than a temporary or terminal condition.
