Routledge - Producing Non-Simultaneity Architecture Book

Producing Non-Simultaneity explores how modernization, driven by market forces and globalization, alters the political, economic, and technological landscape of architecture. This book moves past the common rhetoric of revolutionary innovation often used by engineers and architects to offer a deeper look at how buildings are actually realized. By examining the last 200 years of technological change, the text demonstrates that progress was only possible because traditional skills and older materials remained part of the process. The volume presents the argument that building sites serve as locations where different eras and methods meet, creating a state of non-simultaneity. This work provides a unique perspective on the construction of the past and the evolving nature of how we build in a modern world.
