Buildings stay still, but theory is always on the move. This simple fact, often noticed but little acted upon, is one of the two catalysts for this engaging collection of essays on architecture’s recent past. The other - the chronic uncertainty as to whether architecture is at heart a practical, or a theoretical, discipline - is exploited to good effect through a series of lively and provocative discussions. * Adrian Forty, Professor Emeritus of Architectural History, UCL, UK * In Architecture Thinking Across Boundaries, the figure of the architect, the historian, the theorist is refreshingly reconfigured as one of the many players in a nexus of relationships between ideas, texts, exhibitions, lectures, dialogical practices and people. * Sophia Psarra, Professor of Architecture and Spatial Design, UCL, UK *
