Derrida for Architects

Beschreibung

Jacques Derrida's thinking is radical, provocative, controversial, and even difficult. This book looks afresh at Derrida's thinking in relation to architecture. It simplifies his ideas in a clear, concise way. As well as a review of Derrida's interaction with architecture, it is also a careful consideration of the implications of his thinking, particularly on the way architecture is practiced.

Rezensionen

"Derrida for Architects is to be celebrated for maintaining that most important and productive relationship between Derrida and architecture" - Planning Perspectives

"This book and series will then appeal to the architect, student, and academic looking for connections between this great mind and the built environment. That his field dealt mostly in intangibles only makes one realize how powerful an idea can be, how his thinking and philosophy have and continue to influence so many, architects and all." - Sean Ruthen, Spacing Magazine
