DOWNLOAD EBOOKContributors explore diverse historical and critical issues in architecture, attempting to discover architectural alternatives based on concepts of aesthetics, technology, and sociology. Essays touch on historical subjects and describe speculative theoretical "projects" that blur conventional boundaries between history and fiction. They demonstrate a reconciliatory architecture that respects cultural differences, acknowledges the globalization of technological culture, and points to a referent other than itself. Includes bandw photos of art installations, film stills, and historical illustrations. Lacks a subject index. The editors are affiliated with McGill University and Dalhousie University.
