The results of this work have culminated in a recent book from Lars M\u00fcller Publishers, which will be the topic of discussion at this event.<br class=\"kix-line-break\" \/>Over the last few decades, architectural history and theory have done a remarkable and necessary job of expanding their limits and audiences. The flip side of this expansion, however, has been a marked displacement of the object, and with it ultimately a certain neglect of architectural thinking proper. On the other end of the spectrum, discussions centered firmly round design process and outcome have often proved self-referential or restricted to the spheres of practice and studio teaching alone. This project constructs a bridge between these two tendencies by mobilizing a topic\u2014\u201cthe building\u201d\u2014that typically belongs in the latter while seeking the former\u2019s expansion. If the dominant approach driving architectural history and theory today concerns identifying novel subject matter, here instead the challenge involves taking up one of the discipline\u2019s oldest themes and reconfiguring it through the intellectual tools now at our disposal.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Forty-three contributors based in Europe and the US, including deans and academic leaders, architects, historians, theorists, philosophers, and doctoral candidates, offer poignant explorations of key architectural structures conceived across Asia and the West from the late 1980s to the present. In exploring these structures through a number of questions both intra- and metadisciplinary\u2014like sameness, value, iconography, objecthood, the urban subject, boredom, and digital technologies\u2014this volume suggests ways in which buildings can trigger conceptual frameworks whose influence extends beyond architecture into other domains of knowledge and practice. Such domains include cultural and intellectual history, philosophy, literary theory, the city, the arts, and design at large. <br class=\"kix-line-break\" \/>By way of the building, therefore, this book illustrates the distinct capacity of architectural thinking to engender far-reaching concepts and, more generally, discourse\u2014while the serendipitous encounters between diverse case studies from Europe, Asia, and the US unveil unexpected synergies and tensions that open up new research territories in design culture.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><em><strong>Jos\u00e9 Arag\u00fcez<\/strong> is an architect, scholar, editor, and educator. He is Adjunct Professor of Architecture at Columbia University\u2014where he leads graduate design studios and seminars\u2014and is scheduled to complete his PhD in the History and Theory of Architecture at Princeton on January 14th, 2019.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Arag\u00fcez holds a Diploma in Architecture and Urbanism from University of Granada, Spain (Honorable Mention, University Graduation Extraordinary Prize, and 1st National Prize in Architecture) and, from Columbia GSAPP, a post-professional Master\u2019s degree (Honor Prize for Excellence in Design) and a Graduate Certificate in Advanced Architectural Research. He has lectured extensively across Europe, North America and in the Middle East\u2014including most of the top schools\u2014and taught, besides Columbia, at Cornell, Princeton, Rice University in Paris, and University of Granada. His recent five-year project, culminating in the publication of The Building (2016, Lars M\u00fcller Pub.), is described in international circles as one of the most significant contributions to architectural discourse in the last decade.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Il centro interdipartimentale FULL \u2013 the Future Urban Legacy Lab, presenta la lecture di Jos\u00e9 Arag\u00fcez dal titolo The Building.
