"The Sage Handbook of Architectural Theory" documents and builds upon some ofthe most innovative developments in architectural theory over the last two decades. Bringing into dialogue a range of geographically, institutionally and historically competing positions, this book examines and explores parallel debates in related fields.

Special project sections, focusing on architectural designs and built works, follow each section in order to articulate its themes. Creating openings for future lines ofinquiry and establishing the basis for new directions for education, researchand practice, this book organizes itself around specific case studies to provide a critical, interpretive and speculative enquiry into the relevant debatesin architectural theory. A methodical, authoritative and comprehensive addition to the literature, the handbook is suitable for academics, researchers and practioners in architecture, urban studies, cultural studies, sociology and geography.
