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).

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. MIT Press, Cambridge MA and London, 1996; 210 x 234mm; pp 250, [5]; extensively illustrated throughout with monochrome photographs; yellow cloth boards, spine lettered black, largely yellow dust wrapper; occasonal slight dust marking of the wrapper but otherwise an exceptionally good copy of this important and very attractively produced book. The book consists of a dozen autobiographical essays by female architects from both Europe and north America, considering how the introduction of women as architects into the traditionally male profession of architecture might bring about, as the jacket comments, "a reconstruction of the orders that shape architectural production and consumption". NOTE that as the book has been printed on cast coated paper it's fairly heavy, weighing in at over 950g, and will therefor attract a poostage supplement for overseas orders, the exact amount depending on destination and service. Postage will be standard on UK orders.
