An Architecture...
César A. Lopez, Jeffrey S. Nesbit
This book isolates and dissects long-overlooked architectural typologies to unveil political aesthetics and protocols along geographic boundaries shaping contemporary society. Exclusions, Edges, and Ecologies is an investigation for identifying and documenting the infrastructural and architectural typologies along political boundaries. By revisiting building typology as a method, this project purposefully meets the entanglement between architecture and power structures. The study of the architectural type and the interrogation of architecture’s role becomes its call for social and political change. Citizenry edges do not only begin and end at nation-state borders but expand from within the interior of common social junctures. Exclusions, Edges, and Ecologies catalogs an architectural type across diverse historical and geopolitical scales, from the interior to vast territories of remote land, to reveal the edges of architecture and delaminate the boundaries of our contemporary design discourse.
