Bringing together subjects and relevant streams of investigation some of which rarely feature in architectural research and practice titles, this book challenges the boundaries of architectural research. Peripheries is a statement on how broad, complex, and, ironically, central, architecture has become in contemporary culture, economy and society, despite the marginal position its profession occupies. Chapters discuss architecture in Argentina, Chile, United States, Egypt, Qatar, Britain, Europe and Australia. Hence, it takes architectural humanities discussions to new cultures, societies and practices and towards a global level of influence and impact.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
