Publisher's Synopsis
How in relation to process, infrastructure, money, information, and program, is architecture in fact done in the late-1990s? How do we operate beyond and sometimes even at odds with policies and official regulations, local interest, and global demands? How might architecture analyze or diagram these zones of operation in order to intervene in them?;Twelve architects join critics and others in addressing the question of "anyhow", of how architecture operates and is perceived in the late-1990s. The 24 illustrated essays are organized around themes ranging from the architectural office to the urban landscape to the philosophy of pragmatism.;This is the seventh book in the ongoing series begun in 1991 with "Anyone". Each volume is based on a conference of architects, philosophers, historians, theoreticians, artists, and intellectuals come together to present papers and discuss a particular theme from a multicultural and multidisciplinary perspective.
