8H. Theory

In this episode, our discussion of contemporary architectural theory is framed by the question of why there is no contemporary discipline-defining book of theory like Delirious New York, Complexity and Contradiction, or Animate Form. This generation explains the myriad reasons why this is the case, from their professional priorities, critiques of singular authors, the rise of the internet, the professionalization of writing about architecture, and their simple lack of interest. The group also discusses the theorization that does exist today, and their own approach to writing.
