Abstract

"Although highly regarded during his short life - and honored by artists and architects today - the American artist Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-78) has been largely ignored within the history of art. Matta-Clark is best remembered for site-specific projects known as "building cuts." Sculptural transformations of architecture produced through direct cuts into buildings scheduled for demolition, these works now exist only as sculptural fragments, photographs, and film and video documentations. Matta-Clark is also remembered as a catalytic force in the creation of SoHo in the early 1970s. Through loft activities, site projects at the exhibition space 112 Greene Street, and his work at the restaurant Food, he participated in the production of a new social and artistic space."--BOOK JACKET. "In this first critical account of Matta-Clark's work, Lee considers it in the context of the art of the 1970s - particularly site-specific, conceptual, and minimalist practices - and its confrontation with issues of community, property, the alienation of urban space, the "right to the city," and the ideologies of progress that have defined modern building programs."--Jacket.

Abstract

Between 1984 and 1994 Jacques Derrida wrote and spoke a great deal about architecture both in his academic work and in connection with a number of particular building projects around the world. He engaged significantly with the work of architects such as Bernard Tschumi, Peter Eisenman, and Daniel Libeskind. Derrida conceived of architecture as an example of the kind of multidimensional writing that he had theorized in Of Grammatology, identifying a rich common ground between architecture and philosophy in relation to ideas about political community and the concept of dwelling. In this book, Francesco Vitale analyzes Derrida's writings and demonstrates how Derrida's work on this topic provides a richer understanding of his approach to deconstruction, highlighting the connections and differences between philosophical deconstruction and architectural deconstructivism.

Abstract

The complicity between architecture and fashion is explored in essays by Mark Wigley, Val Warke, and Leila Kinney, among others, and architectural projects by Machado and Silvetti, Diller + Scofidio, and Venturi Scott Brown. Topics range from the encoding of gender in fashion within the work of Semper, Wagner, Loos, and Le Corbusier to a discussion of the body as a scaffold for the display of ready-made wear. Paulette Singley and Deborah Fausch provide an introduction."Architecture: In Fashion comes recommended with the caveat that it is not light reading. In fact, you may finish with a sense of wonder that it weighs so little, dense as it is with food for thought. This diminutive volume contains more theory than a freshman philosophy text, and the pictures are a hell of a lot better" -- Michael Jack, AIArchitect
