Eschewing a conventionally direct approach to architectural objects – to iconic buildings and big-name architects – she instead explores the background of architectural practice, to introduce the creative ecologies in which architecture exists only in relation to other objects and ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eConsisting of a series of philosophical encounters with architectural practice that are neither neatly located in one domain nor the other, this book is concerned with \u003cem\u003e‘other ways of doing architecture’\u003c\/em\u003e. It examines architecture at the limits where it is muddied by alternative disciplinary influences – whether art practice, philosophy or literature. Frichot meets a range of creative characters who work at the peripheries, and who challenge the central assumptions of the discipline, showing that there is no \u003cem\u003e‘core of architecture’\u003c\/em\u003e – there is rather architecture as a multiplicity of diverse concerns in engagement with local environments and worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom an author well-known in the disciplines of architecture and philosophy for her scholarship on Deleuze, this is a radical, accessible, and highly original approach to design research, deftly engaging with an array of current topics from the Anthropocene to affect theory, new materialism to contemporary feminism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470355513580,"sku":"9781350042087","price":52.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781350042087-creative-ecologies.jpg?v=1775217113"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/helene-frichot.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
