Architecture and the Public World

$58⁹⁹

Description

The essays explore Frampton’s contention that architecture’s imperative is to assume a significant responsibility for the edification and stewardship of the Arendtian ‘public world.’ One of the most theoretically sophisticated and politically committed architectural thinkers, Frampton’s work breaks emphatically with the limits and norms of much contemporary practice and restores a sense of richness and social consequence of architecture’s ‘unfinished project.’

Architecture and the Public World offers abiding lessons not only for architecture but for social, cultural, and design criticism alike.
