Space Reader

內容簡介

內容簡介 The Space Reader provides a highly pertinent and contemporaryunderstanding of space for a new generation of students andarchitects. It espouses a definition of space that is heterogeneous(an object or system consisting of a diverse range of differentitems). An example of heterogeneous space, for instance, isManhattan where complex and multiple social and technologicalconditions are overlaid. (This is to be contrasted with highlycentralised and ordered Modernist cities.) With the onset ofglobalisation and the Web, heterogeneneous space, with its emphasison differentiation, is more relevant to the contemporary condition,which encourages the mixing of space, than a much more staticconception of Modernist space. This book foregrounds spatial issues and the potential ofheterogeneous space through a threefold strategy:1) Its compilation of seminal essays on the discourse ofheterogeneous space. These are to include previously published keytexts by Reyner Banham, Andrew Benjamin, Robin Evans, Jeff Kipnisand Henri Lefebvre, as well as new texts by important contemporarycommentators, such as Mark Cousins, Werner Durth and AnthonyVidler.2) By commenting on these seminal texts and drawing linksbetween them.3) By distilling from the first two efforts a contemporaryoutlook on a discourse of heterogeneous space that is of futuresignificance.
