Architecture After Deleuze and Guattari

This study illuminates the complex interplay between Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy and architecture. Presenting their wide-ranging impact on late 20th- and 21st-century architecture each chapter focuses on a core Deleuzian/Guattarian philosophical concept and one key work of architecture which evokes contorts or extends it.<br/><br/>Challenging the idea that a concept or theory defines and then produces the physical work and not vice versa Chris L. Smith positions the relationship between Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy and the field of architecture as one that is mutually substantiating and constitutive. In this framework modes of architectural production and experimentation become inextricable from the conceptual territories defined by these two key thinkers producing a rigorous discussion of theoretical practical and experimental engagements with their ideas.
