Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Leichte Rillen / Abschurfungen / Risse / Knicke; Farbtonanderung. This extraordinary collection is poised to become a pivotal text in contemporary architectural discourse. It challenges the foundational assumptions that shape the production and reception of architecture through a stunning display of creative rigor. By assembling a diverse group of writers and designers, Francesca Hughes compels the field to confront its future. At a time when the architectural profession is beginning to shift from its traditionally male-dominated roots, this work explores how the inclusion of women in architecture may reconstruct the prevailing orders of architectural production and consumption. In a series of autobiographical essays, twelve American and European architects reflect on critical practice and its connection to architecture. These contributors were selected for both their distinguished work and the diverse architectural practices they represent, spanning theory, philosophy, building processes, and industry. Together, they offer a compelling critique of architectural culture, demonstrating a willingness to traverse various mediums and revive discussions often overlooked in architectural discourse.The text argues that women architects, positioned as both insiders and outsiders, are uniquely equipped to critique and challenge established norms in the built environment. Their dual perspective as marginal yet mainstream figures presents an opportunity for a critical reconstruction of architectura.

In a collection of autobiographical essays in which practice is both the site and the vehicle for change, twelve American and European architects reflect on the nature of critical practice and its relation to architecture. The contributors were chosen not only for the distinguished quality of their work, but also for the range of architectural practices they collectively encompass - from the intersection of theory and philosophy to the union of building process and industry. Together, they present a compelling and provocative critique of architectural culture. All show a willingness to transgress the various mediums and territories of architecture, to recover and reopen certain discussions lost in the architectural discourse they have inherited. The Architect: Reconstructing Her Practice argues that women architects - insiders by their education and their adoption by and of certain professional institutions, and outsiders by their difference, their gender-related experience - are ideally placed to critique architecture and to challenge certain widely held assumptions about the built and unbuilt environment. It is the woman architect's ability to be simultaneously marginal and mainstream that provides a unique opportunity for a critical reconstruction of architectural practice. (Klappentext).
