This unresolved tension has a centuries-old history in the discipline, persisting through Classical and Renaissance times to the present day, and yet it has rarely been addressed through a historical and theoretical lens.In this book, acclaimed architectural theorist Mark Jarzombek examines this tension head-on, and uses it to rethink the nature of the history of architecture.  He reveals architecture to be a troubled, interconnected realm, incomplete and unstable, where labor, craft, and occupation are the invisible' complements to the work of the architect. Erudite, entertaining, and full of surprising and thought-provoking juxtapositions and challenges, \u003ci\u003eArchitecture Constructed\u003c\/i\u003e is packed with novel insights into the internal conflicts and paradoxes of architecture, and is rich with\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAphoristic, erudite, humorous, and extraordinarily capacious,\u003ci\u003e Architecture Constructed \u003c\/i\u003edeftly explores the thinker\/maker opposition, the way it has played out in architecture, and the complex effects to which it has given rise. This is a consistently provocative and thought-provoking text – opinionated, challenging, and argued with bravado. * Mark Dorrian, University of Edinburgh, UK *\u003cbr\u003eBrilliantly written, \u003ci\u003eArchitecture Constructed\u003c\/i\u003e uncovers blind spots in the very construction of architecture theory. In so doing, Jarzombek performs a Derridean deconstruction of long-established disciplinary concepts and manages, while constructing a grammatology of the discipline itself, to perform a ‘Derrida' on Jacques Derrida himself. * Marc Angélil, ETH Zurich, Switzerland *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword Acknowledgements  Part 1 1: Preface 2: Arche-Tekton 3: Shell Games  Part 2 1: Befores and Afters 2: Dialectics of (In)Completion 3: Post-Teleology  Part 3 1: The Curse of Socrates 2: Occupationality 3: Faber Ingenium  Part 4 1: ’Architecture’ 2: Anamorphic Realism  Part 5 1: Arche-Soci(arche)ology 2: Arche-2 3: Laugier's Haunts  Part 6 1: Tekton-Topia  Part 7 1: Master-Builder 2: Tekton Libidinalism 3: ‘Construction’   De-Positioning  Postscript List of Credits  Index","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing PLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48738619294039,"sku":"9781350326118","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781350326118.jpg?v=1720049676","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/architecture-constructed-9781350326118","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
