Description

This Routledge publication examines how image production technology shapes contemporary architectural pedagogy and practice, challenging the spectacle-driven logic that dominates the discipline. The book argues that architecture has become complicit in neoliberal capitalism's commodification of experience, transforming buildings and designs into objects of sensory gratification rather than vessels of ethical purpose. Drawing on Alain Badiou's critical framework, the author exposes how architectural education and practice have abandoned their responsibility to the common good, instead conforming to cultural logic that prioritises visual consumption over substantive meaning. Through theoretical analysis, the work interrogates the 'naked power' concealed behind architectural representation and calls for a fundamental reassessment of the discipline's values, offering essential reading for architects, educators, theorists and students seeking to understand and resist the commodification of the built environment.

Key Features

Routledge publication offering critical theory on contemporary architectural pedagogy and its relationship to image-based culture.

Applies Alain Badiou's philosophical framework to expose how spectacle and neoliberal capitalism shape modern architectural practice.

Examines the ethical contradictions between architecture's stated purpose and its actual role in obscene commodity production.

Provides theoretical tools for understanding how image technology veils power structures within architectural education and professional discourse.

Essential resource for architecture students, educators and theorists questioning the discipline's alignment with capitalist consumption logic.
