Criticism/Negation/Action. Architecture-Writing Criticism by Design. The Cultural Context of Critical Architecture.

Critical Architecture examines the relationship between critical practice in architecture and architectural criticism. Placing architecture in an interdisciplinary context, the book explores architectural criticism with reference to modes of criticism in other disciplines - specifically art criticism - and considers how critical practice in architecture operates through a number of different modes: buildings, drawings and texts.

With forty essays by an international cast of leading architectural academics, this accessible single source text on the topical subject of architectural criticism is ideal for undergraduate as well as post graduate study. https://www.routledge.com/Critical-Architecture/Rendell-Hill-Dorrian-Fraser/p/book/9780415415385
