Summary

This study explores the intricate relationship between Deleuze and Guattari’s philosophy and architecture. Each chapter examines a key philosophical concept alongside a significant architectural work that reflects or expands that idea. Chris L. Smith challenges traditional views by proposing a reciprocal connection between theory and architectural practice, arguing that architectural modes are deeply intertwined with Deleuzian and Guattarian concepts, resulting in a nuanced dialogue between theory and experimentation.

Description

This study illuminates the complex interplay between Deleuze and Guattari’s philosophy and architecture. Presenting their wide-ranging impact on late 20th- and 21st-century architecture, each chapter focuses on a core Deleuzian/Guattarian philosophical concept and one key work of architecture which evokes, contorts, or extends it.

Challenging the idea that a concept or theory defines and then produces the physical work and not vice versa, Chris L. Smith positions the relationship between Deleuze and Guattari’s philosophy and the field of architecture as one that is mutually substantiating and constitutive. In this framework, modes of architectural production and experimentation become inextricable from the conceptual territories defined by these two key thinkers, producing a rigorous discussion of theoretical, practical, and experimental engagements with their ideas.
