Mallgrave employs the words theory and architecture in a broad sense--the latter encompassing aspects of urban planning, structural, and landscape design, while theory too is often indistinguishable from practice. The text surveys the intellectual history of architecture since 1968, including criticisms of high modernism, the rise of postmodern and poststructural theory, critical regionalism and tectonics, and the significant changes that architectural thinking has undergone in the past fifteen years, concluding with an analysis of where architecture stands and where it will likely move in the coming years.  \u003cp\u003eA sharp and lively text that covers issues in depth but not to the point that they become inaccessible to beginning students, \u003ci\u003eAn Introduction to Architectural Theory\u003c\/i\u003e is the first narrative history of this period, charting the veritable revolution in architectural thinking that has taken place, as well as the implications of this intellectual upheaval.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47988723810533,"sku":"NP9781405180634","price":75.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781405180634.jpg?v=1761781337","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/an-introduction-to-architectural-theory-isbn-9781405180634","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
