Description

This text draws both on the work of modern theorists like Georg Lukacs, Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno and Siegfried Kracauer and on the more recent poststructuralist thought to create a new method of reading architectural production. The author argues that a rigorously articulated "posthumanist" position was actually developed in the modernist architecture of Hannes Meyer and Ludwig Hilberseimer. The book reinterprets their buildings, projects and writings as constructions of this new category of subjectivity.

Author Biography:

K. Michael Hays is Eliot Noyes Professor of Architectural Theory at Harvard's Graduate School of Design. In 2000 he was appointed the first Adjunct Curator at the Whitney Museum for American Art. He is the author, among other books, of Modern Architecture and the Posthumanist Subject (1995) and the editor of Architecture Theory since 1968 (2000), both published by the MIT Press.
