{"product_id":"on-architecture-fred-rush-9780415396196","title":"On Architecture","description":"\u003cp\u003eArchitecture is a philosophical puzzle. Although we spend most of our time in buildings, we rarely reflect on what they mean or how we experience them. With some notable exceptions, they have generally struggled to be taken seriously as works of art compared to painting or music and have been rather overlooked by philosophers. In \u003cem\u003eOn Architecture\u003c\/em\u003e, Fred Rush argues this is a consequence of neglecting the role of the body in architecture. Our encounter with a building is first and foremost a bodily one; buildings are lived-in, communal spaces and their construction reveals a lot about our relation to the environment as a whole. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on examples from architects classic and contemporary such as Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright, and exploring the significance of buildings in relation to film and music and philosophers such as Heidegger and Merleau-Ponty, Fred Rush argues that philosophical reflection on building can tell us something important about the human condition. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fred Rush\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415396190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415396196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.60h x 5.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Fred Rush","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447739592959,"sku":"9780415396196","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_336e5bd6-5f0c-4e12-b592-6546fe2dba72.jpg?v=1777234483","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/on-architecture-fred-rush-9780415396196","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
