Architecture and the burdens of linearity
by Catherine Ingraham
In this engaging discussion, Ingraham considers maps, architectural plans, the laws of geometry, systems of architectural knowledge, and mythologies of architectural origin in works by Le Corbusier, Vitruvius, Alberti, Tafuri, Derrida, Levi-Strauss, Shakespeare, Lacan, Deleuze, Rilke, and Stendhal. Entering the current complex debates about the connection between theory and practice in architecture, the author also addressed themes in psychoanalytic criticism, poststructural theory, and feminist criticism.
Her examination thus moves beyond architecture and its literal structures to the notion of epistemological structure that architecture as a discipline and practice upholds and promotes.
