Architecturally Speaking is an international collection of essays by leading architects, artists and theorists of locality and space. New work by celebrated contributors including Marc Auge, Krzysztog Wodiczko, Anthony Vidler, Lebbeus Woods and Zaha Hadid is juxtaposed with seminal essays by Bernard Tschumi and Doreen Massey. Brand new work on city space and architecture by radical young companies such as MUF and performance artist Graeme Millar is joined by challenging new visions of orientation in the city by anthropologist Franco de Cecla and technologist William Mitchell. Together these essays build to reflect not only what it might mean to 'speak architecturally' but also the innate relations between the artist's and architect's work, how they are distinct, and in inspiring ways, how they might relate through questions of built form. The interdisciplinary is often evoked but in this collection the specificity of practices and their relation with everyday contexts announces innovative grounds for collaboration. This book will appeal to urbanists, geographers, artists, architects, cultural historians and theorists. Marc Auge, Franco La Cecla, Beatriz Colomina, Kenneth Frampton, Zaha Hadid, Oliver Kruse, Doreen Massey, Graeme Miller, William J. Mitchell, MUF architects, Anne M. Pendleton-Julian, Alan Read, Franco

Industry Reviews

'A key premise of this collection is the focus on the enriched field of interdisciplinarity that allows for cross-cultural thinking in areas of research ranging from philosophy, geography, urban planning, sociology, art, digital media and architecture, to name but a few. However, although deeply rewarding and enriching, Read rightly reminds us of the disciplinary significance of each discrete area and its potential loss of significance in the superficial 'blind date' of hasty interdisciplinarity.' - Dorothy Rowe, The Art Book
