Challenging some concepts and categories of architectural history and situates current debates within a broader cultural and technological context, Hight makes complex ideas easily accessible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExtensively illustrated and written without academic jargon for an informed but non-specialized architectural audience, this book elucidates the often obscure debates of avant-garde architectural discourse and design, while demonstrating how these debates have affected everyday places and concepts of architecture. As a result, it will appeal to professional architects, academics and students, combining as it does an insightful introduction to the fundamental issues of architectural history and theory over the past fifty years with entirely new formulations of what that history is and means. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Hight\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415384818\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415384810\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/06\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.19h x 6.45w x 0.67d","brand":"Christopher Hight","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086309372159,"sku":"9780415384810","price":240.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_83c9d05e-6cf5-439b-9ecd-7c3684d99e27.jpg?v=1769093947","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/architectural-principles-in-the-age-christopher-hight-9780415384810","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
