Reviews

Stanek's work has already taken scholarship on Henri Lefebvre s concept of space to an unprecedented level of philosophical sophistication. With the discovery of this new text, Stanek escorts Lefebvre to the center of architecture theory since 1968. Lefebvre s conceptual text and Stanek s exquisite Introduction together enable the possibility of thinking not about architecture, but thinking architecturally about how we inhabit our world. Toward an Architecture of Enjoyment takes us toward a concept of the architectural imagination that is a powerful mediator between thought and action. K. Michael Hays, Harvard Graduate School of Design
