Description
Authorship Discourse: A Series on Architecture by Monica Ponce de Leon explores the evolving role of creativity in architecture's cultural production. This collection of essays examines alternative ideas of authorship, including the impact of digital tools and computational scripts, and the rise of reauthored materials in a postdigital age. The book delves into the separation between personal and authored work, as well as the significance of meaning, symbolism, and iconography in architecture. A biannual publication series, Discourse presents timely themes on and around architecture, featuring essays, interviews, roundtable discussions, exhibitions, photo-essays, and architectural materials. Through its diverse perspectives, Authorship Discourse repositions the history of architecture and offers new ways of thinking about design authorship.
