Questioning Architectural Judgement: The Problem of Codes in the United States

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (12512 ratings)

Description:The book shines light on the problem of judgment, particularly in the realm of architectural "technics" and the codes that regulate it. The struggle to define "sustainability," and thus judge architecture through such lenses, is but one dimension of the contemporary problem of judgment. By providing the reader with an inherently interdisciplinary study of a particular discipline-architecture, it brings to the topic lenses that challenge the too frequently unexamined assumptions of the discipline. By situating architecture within a broader cultural field and using case studies to dissect the issues discussed, the book emphasizes that it is not simply a matter of designing better, more efficient, or more stringent codes to guide place-making, but a matter of "reconstructing the boundaries of the systems to be coded."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
