Architecture Thinking across Boundaries Summary

Architecture Thinking across Boundaries: Knowledge transfers since the 1960s by Rajesh Heynickx

While most studies on the history of architectural theory have been concerned with what has been said and written, this book is concerned with how architecture theory has been created and transmitted. Architecture Thinking across Boundaries looks at architectural theory through the lens of intellectual history. Eleven original essays explore a variety of themes and contexts, each examining how architectural knowledge has been transferred across social, spatial and disciplinary boundaries - whether through the international circulation of ideas, transdisciplinary exchanges, or transfers from design practice to theory and back again. Dissecting the frictions, transformations and resistances that mark these journeys, the essays in this book reflect upon the myriad routes that architectural knowledge has taken while developing into architectural theory. They critically enquire the interstices - geographical, temporal and epistemological - that lie beyond fixed narratives. They show how unstable, vital and eminently mobile the processes of thinking about architecture have been.

Architecture Thinking across Boundaries Reviews

Buildings stay still, but theory is always on the move. This simple fact, often noticed but little acted upon, is one of the two catalysts for this engaging collection of essays on architecture's recent past. The other - the chronic uncertainty as to whether architecture is at heart a practical, or a theoretical, discipline - is exploited to good effect through a series of lively and provocative discussions. * Adrian Forty, Professor Emeritus of Architectural History, UCL, UK *
In Architecture Thinking Across Boundaries, the figure of the architect, the historian, the theorist is refreshingly reconfigured as one of the many players in a nexus of relationships between ideas, texts, exhibitions, lectures, dialogical practices and people. * Sophia Psarra, Professor of Architecture and Spatial Design, UCL, UK *
