At least Against Architecture translation, La Cecla is a very silly and pretentious writer, and I try not to throw that description around lightly. So, no, this ranty little tome I picked up at the anarchist bookfair was not quite the intro to politically-conscious architectural criticism that I wanted or expected. On the whole, though, I still finished the book because it has a few really nicely Against Architecture, although hardly original, passages on the Against Architecture of public space. Another saving grace: La Cecla's a no At least in translation, La Cecla is a very Against Architecture and pretentious writer, and I try not to throw that description around lightly. Nov 06, World Literature Today added it Shelves: reviewed. Libro non freschissimoche soffre un po' di "appannamento" in quanto inteso come stimolo critico al dibattito e dunque Against Architecture prospettiva necessariamente oggi privo di alcuni aggiornamenti che il lettore sentirebbe necessari, per esempio sulla Milano post-Expo va detto che nel La Cecla ha portato avanti il brand "contro" con un libro sull'urbanistica, che a oggi tuttavia non ho avuto occasione di leggere. Questo trovo spazio soprattutto nella prima parte, meno nella seconda che per me funziona peggio. May 02, Martin rated it liked it. Other reviewers have written that Against Architecture are better books out there which address similar issues, but this was the first book on the problems in modern architecture and city planning that I've read, and I thought it served as a good enough introduction for someone interested in the subject but with little prior knowledge.

And in some sections especially in the Labyrinth and the Pyramid the writer had forced his way too much that his supporting ideas seem too artifical. All in Against Architecture, it was a strange reading. Nov Against Architecture, Tosh rated it liked it. I rather read the actual books by Bataille but still Denis Hollier nails him down as a 20th Century master, and I don't disagree with that at all. But it's wise to read Bataille's books as well as the critique -he's a multi-layered talent that needs to be studied and examined. Apr 10, Marty rated it really liked it Shelves: philosophy-critical-theorycriticism. I have only a limited knowledge of Bataille's writings but this book contributed greatly to Against Architecture understanding. I think i would have gotten Against Architecture more from it had I greater prior knowledge of Bataille I've Against Architecture three on my to-read list and on my bookshelves at home. Denis Against Architecture does an amazing job of dissecting Batailles writings, Against Architecture and biographical information. He also does it an a very unique way tracing and trailing and flitting through a massive Against Architecture often convulted body of work.

The unique social, political, and economic conditions of West Berlin during the 1980s created a distinct urban environment that is reflected in the band’s music. The city has been preserved by Einstürzende Neubauten in the form of sound recordings, and conserved in the unique instruments originally found by the band on the streets of West Berlin.

  • Baustellen Der Zerstörung Literatur, Architektur Und Dekonstruktion
    BAUSTELLEN DER ZERSTÖRUNG LITERATUR, ARCHITEKTUR UND DEKONSTRUKTION CONSTRUCTION SITES OF DESTRUCTION LITERATURE, ARCHITECTURE, AND DECONSTRUCTION by Johannes Birke A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland October, 2014 © 2014 Johannes Birke All Rights Reserved Intented to be blank ii Abstract My dissertation Construction Sites of Destruction. Literature, Architecture, and Deconstruction analyzes representational and epistemological modes of architectural destruction in literature, theory, and film since the 1960s. I argue in my thesis that architectural destruction challenges the limits of writing, building, and memory, and that this is integral to the production and understanding of architecture and literature in the late twentieth century. I take a decidedly transmedial perspective toward the relationship between architecture and literature, and include examples of painting, photography, and film. As a program of dismantling the ‘architecture’ of Western philosophical thought, the rise of deconstruction in the late 1960s found immediate resonance among the architects of the period. Deconstruction pervades their theoretical work no less than their actual processes of designing and building. I argue that deconstruction is central to not only the displacement of the system of architectural metaphors (in philosophy), but also with the concrete materiality of architecture itself. My thesis links the metaphorical and material aspects of architectural destruction in order to establish a new theoretical framework for the construction, representation, and reception of architecture in literature and cinema. Close readings of Thomas Bernhard’s novels Das Kalkwerk and Korrektur set up a ‘poetology of construction sites of destruction.’ With Bernhard, I show how architecture becomes an agent in both the processes of writing and destroying (itself, among other things).
