Truth and Lies in Architecture
W037575 | $29.95 / 10% library disc.
Richard Francis-Jones, Kenneth Frampton. ORO Editions, Novato, 2022.
208 pp. Well illustrated (chiefly col.). 22 x 15 cm. In English. Paperbound.
ISBN 9781954081659
This is a collection of provocative essays that journey into the vexed circumstance of contemporary architectural practice. The nature of the great cultural, social, political, environmental, and consumerist challenges facing the contemporary architect are explored, interpreted, and questioned while drawing connections from architecture theory, philosophy, science, literature, and film sources in an attempt to negotiate the territory between the truth and lies in architecture. These essays written by a leading Australian architect represent a level of comprehensive critical awareness rarely found within the architectural profession and one would be hard-pressed to find another comparable figure in contemporary architectural practice. The entire argumentation is impressive, challenging, intellectually at the highest level, and beautifully written.
