Summary |
"Architecturally Speaking is an international collection of essays by leading architects, artists and theorists of locality and space. Together these essays build to reflect not only what it might mean to "speak architecturally" but also the innate relations between the artist's and architect's work, how they are distinct and in inspiring ways, how they might relate through questions of built form. The interdisciplinary is often evoked, but in this collection the specificity of practices and their relation with everyday contexts announces innovative grounds for collaboration. This book will appeal to urbanists, geographers, artists, architects, theatre practitioners, cultural historians and theorists."--BOOK JACKET |
