OverviewNowhere, Mark Wigley asserts, are the stakes higher for deconstruction than in architecture - architecture is the Achilles' heel of deconstructive discourse, the point of vulnerability upon which all of its arguments depend. In this book, Wigley redefines the question of deconstruction and architecture. By locating the architecture already hidden within deconstructive discourse, he opens up more radical possibilities for both architecture and deconstruction, offering a way of rethinking the institution of architecture while using architecture to rethink deconstructive discourse.

Table of ContentsReviewsThe many ever unexpected twists and turns of the dancing deconstructivist...give the book its meaning. It is the 'insistent indirectness' of the argument which is impresive. The current architectural discourse is not so much rejuvenated by it, as rediscovered in all its magnitude and profundity... the ethical and political engagement of this text is never far to seek. Experiencing this intoxicating dance is a real delight, and that in itself vouches for its merit. This text is warmly recommended to architects, philosophers and to everyone else. --Geert Bekaert, Archis Magazine Author InformationMark Wigley is Professor of Architecture at Columbia University.
