Description
This collection of essays explores the intersection of architecture and art through a new theoretical approach inspired by the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. John Rajchman delves into concepts such as folding, lightness, ground, abstraction, and future cities to construct a new space of connections.
Along the way, he addresses questions of abstraction, operative form, other geometries, new technologies, global cities, ideas of the virtual and the formless, and possibilities for critical theory after utopia and transgression. This thought-provoking work aims to build a new idiom in architecture and challenge conventional thinking.
