Summary
Andrew Benjamin: Philosophy of Architecture
Philosophy of Architecture is one of the few books that establishes the outlines of a philosophical assessment of architecture and presents the uniqueness of its practice and theory. This dazzling series of reflections unravels the subject of architecture, spanning a vast range, from memory to science fiction dystopias. Advocating for the indistinguishability of form and function, the author explores the determinants of the environment as well as the possibility of its modification. His analysis of the nature of complex reproducibility also takes into account the possibility of judgment, such as would result from a rethinking of architectural policy.
