Description:

[Englischsprachige] EA. - «The Architecture of Space - The Space of Architecture is about the human perception of space and the historical development of spatial ideas from the earliest times until the present; a development that has been manifested in a profusion of cultural phenomena from paintings and buildings to geometry and astronomy. This book offers a broad account of the cultural history of space, and of the history of architecture in this light. It is the point of the book that the cultural process thus has an inherent dynamic that has a driven development forward from a natural base level through levels on increasing complexity. This evolutionist view of culture and history has long been in miscredit in leading academic circles. In order to clarify the problems it is compared in the book to relevant aspects of the Frenchman Gilles Deleuze’s philosophy, which has played an important role in 1990s for the humanities and the social sciences, and for important movements in architecture and art.»
