The SAGE Handbook of Architectural Theory

The SAGE Handbook of Architectural Theory documents and builds upon some of the most innovative developments in architectural theory over the last two decades. Bringing into dialogue a range of geographically, institutionally and historically competing positions, the book examines and explores parallel debates in related fields. The book is divided into eight sections:

• Power/Difference/Embodiment

• Aesthetics/Pleasure/Excess

• Nation/Spectacle/Modernity

• History/Memory/Tradition

• Design/Practice/Production

• Technology/Science/Virtuality

• Nature/Landscape/Sustainability

• City/Metropolis/Territory

The books is a critical, interpretive and speculative enquiry with debates organized around specific case studies, allowing the Handbook to create openings for future lines of inquiry and establish the basis for new directions for education, research and practice.
