Description
This book brings together Kenneth Framptons essays from the 1960s to today which epitomize his reflections on the historical-theoretical entanglements of architecture with place, the public realm, cultural identity, urban landscape and environment, and the political question of the "predicament" of architecture in the new Millennium. The essays explore Framptons contention that architectures imperative is to assume a significant responsibility for the edification and stewardship of the Arendtian `public world. One of the most theoretically sophisticated and politically committed architectural thinkers, Framptons work breaks emphatically with the limits and norms of much contemporary practice and restores a sense of richness and social consequence of architectures `unfinished project, while offering abiding lessons not only for architecture but for social, cultural, and design criticism alike.
