If the 20th century can be characterised by theories andmanifestoes, which emanated across every sphere of life frompolitics to the fine arts, the beginning of the 21st century can bedistinguished by its very break from theory. This effective'theoretical meltdown' has manifested itself in aperiod of uncertainty, which can be perceived in the waydisciplines coalesce with each other and blur their parameters:fine art becoming indistinct from advertising imagery; architectureincorporating communication techniques; and sculpture dealing withliving spaces; while architecture reshapes fragments of the naturalenvironment. The issue topically calls the contemporary situation inarchitecture to account. Features writings by and interviews with some of the mostremarkable protagonists of the debate: Ole Bouman, Ricardo Diller& Elizabeth Scofidio, Neil Leach, Bernard Tschumi and RobertVenturi and Denise Scott Brown. Acts as a barometer to architectural design, inviting 10international critics to highlight the most relevant currentwork.
