On Power in Architecture

- From a Materialistic, Phenomenological, and Post-Structuralist Perspective

Om On Power in Architecture

Architecture has always been a decisive manifestation of power. This volume brings an attempt to question and reflect on the relationship between power and architecture from three philosophical perspectives: materialistic, phenomenological and post-structuralist. This collection opens an interdisciplinary investigation that aims to reflect on architecture and its interconnectedness with power within philosophy and cultural theory at large, while presenting these concepts using practical examples from the built environment. Internationally recognised authors - philosophers, architectural theorists and historians - Andrew Benjamin, Andrew Ballantyne, Mladen Dolar, Hilde Heynen, Nadir Lahiji, Jeff Malpas, Dean Komel, Elke Krasny, Robert Pfaller, Gerard Reinmuth, Luka Skansi, Douglas Spencer, Teresa Stoppani and Sven-Olov Wallenstein, present their reflections in original unpublished essays and interviews. In the presented works, architecture is combined and transgressed by philosophy in a new discussion that focuses only on power. The contributions in this collection open a variety of architectural questions, one of the central among them being the impact of neoliberal capitalism on architecture. Architecture, with its implication on the complex contemporary political and social reality, is severely changing our space, and more globally, our environment. A reflection on the multilayered relation between architecture and power has never been as topical as it is today. This book will, therefore, be of interest to students, researchers and academics or professionals within the field of architecture, philosophy, sociology, political sciences and cultural sciences.
