Description
Reconstructing Architecture: Critical Discourses and Social Practices By Thomas A. Dutton and Lian Hurst Mann Published in 1996 by U of Minnesota Press, this book explores the complex relationship between architecture and society. The contributors examine how architecture reflects and shapes our social world, challenging dominant forms of power and identity. The essays in this volume engage with key debates in the field, including feminism, social theory, environmentalism, cultural studies, race and ethnic studies, and critical theory. By reconstructing these discourses, the authors aim to create a new social project that prioritises radical change and social justice. This collection of critical writings offers a nuanced understanding of architecture as a site of power and identity formation, and its potential for challenging existing social relations.
