What would it mean for architecture to assemble such discrepant evidence into its discourse?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArguing that the persistent refrains of lived affect dwell in architecture, this book traces such refrains to a concept of architecture wedged in the middle ground--jammed amidst life, things and events. Rather than being aloof from its surrounds, architecture-in-the-midst challenges an autonomous epistemology. Beyond accounting for the vivid but excluded, this book develops a frame and a disposition for thinking critically about, speculatively through, and being grounded by, encounter. Examining affect through a constellation of spaces in contemporary Singapore, it details architecture's uneasy but inextricable relationship with key subjects relegated to the incommensurate, the peripheral, the scenic and the decorative. The outcome is a politicized architectural discourse simultaneously grounded and speculative; bridging depth and intuition, thinking and feeling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lilian Chee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032407549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032407548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/28\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Lilian Chee","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48441708970239,"sku":"9781032407548","price":57.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e1e30a3e-6f61-4676-aa42-bc70bc651600.jpg?v=1777192449","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/architecture-and-affect-lilian-chee-9781032407548","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
