Baudrillard for Architects by Francesco Proto (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Baudrillard for Architects by Francesco Proto Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This introductory but in-depth assessment and critique of Baudrillards interest in architecture presents key concepts and emphasises how the mutual concerns of cultural theory and architecture provide a fruitful ground for debate in contemporary architecture. Publisher Description Marginalized due to the deployment of both a highly specialized jargon and a novel stylistic approach meant to upset established norms and conventions, Baudrillards thought has suffered from the lack of an accessible, consistent and comprehensive exposition able to make it relevant to diverse contemporary disciplines. As a result, its impact on architecture has always been confined to academia. By presenting an introductory but in-depth formalization of Baudrillards interest in architecture and related fields, this book makes intelligible his philosophical premises thus showing, through the prism of architecture, their relevance and persuasiveness today. Key concepts such as the object system, the code, simulation, hyperreality and precession, to name a few, are addressed in the light of the specially reconceptualized key construct of ambience, thus emphasizing how the mutual concerns of architecture, urban studies and cultural studies provide a fertile ground for debate.Such an approach, which focuses on the contradictions inherent in contemporary society from the vantage point of Baudrillards original involvement in architectural analysis, philosophy and criticism, is one which students, practitioners and scholars alike from as diverse disciplines as architecture, interior design and urban studies – but also fine art, anthropology, sociology, economics, human geography, social psychology and cultural studies to start with – will benefit from immensely. Author Biography Francesco Proto is an architect and Senior Lecturer in History and Theory of Architecture at Oxford Brookes University School of Architecture, as well as a member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Baudrillard Studies. He has published widely on Jean Baudrillard and his previous book, Mass Identity Architecture, was the first to foreground Baudrillards interest and concern with architecture. His current research focuses on the relationship between subjectivity and the city and Baudrillards re-reading of Jacques Lacan.
