Product Description

Product Description

This is the first concise text to explore the collaboration between Deleuze and Guattari specifically for architects and architecture students. Deleuze and Guattari's work has influenced the design work of architects as diverse as Greg Lynn and David Chipperfield, and is regularly cited by avant-gardist architects and students.



From the Back Cover

The work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari has been inspirational for architects and architectural theorists in recent years. It is regularly cited by avant-gardist architects and by students, but usually without being well understood.

Deleuze and Guattari's first collaboration produced Capitalism and Schizophrenia: Anti-Oedipus, which was taken up as a manifesto for the post-structuralist life, and was associated with the spirit of the student revolts of 1968. Their ideas promote creativity and innovation, and their work is wide-ranging, complex and endlessly stimulating. They range across philosophy, politics, psychoanalysis, physics, art and literature, changing our preconceptions about absolutely everything along the way. After contact with their ideas, architecture becomes part of life’s fabric, enmeshed in the things we think and do, whether we’re trying to save a habitat or humming a tune as we walk down the street.

Deleuze & Guattari for Architects is a perfect introduction for anyone who wants to find a way into their thinking, and who is more familiar with architecture than philosophy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent intro, 2 Oct 2009
This is an excellent intro. Rather than simply looking for scant "architectural" references in the writings of D&G, Ballantyne gets himself into their "rhyzomic" mode of thinking. The bottom line, however, is that with this type of thinking architecture must always "think differently" - and hence this becomes a basis (a word D&G would object to) for avant-gardist architecture; for otherwise, in the author's own words, buildings are "already designed"; i.e. typologies - and why else would one need an architect?
