Description

Explore a provocative examination of modern design in An Architecture Manifesto: Critical Reason and Theories of a Failed Practice. Published by Routledge, this work challenges the current state of the field by examining the decline of architectonic reason. The author argues that when architecture moves beyond its established limits, it risks falling into pure aestheticism, a trend that has shaped much of contemporary design. This book provides a deep look at how architecture has transitioned into a pure aesthetic object and the subsequent impact this has on the human sensorium. It examines the role of capitalist consumer society in shaping architectural desires through surplus-enjoyment for profit. For students, academics, and professionals interested in architectural criticism and theory, this text offers a necessary critique of how modern practices have diverged from their foundational reasoning.
