| Summary, etc. |
"The aim of the work is to advance ideas about how the built environment, including but not restricted to architecture, functions as a medium of communication. The built environment and its communicative capacity have long been overlooked as a medium within an otherwise robust history of media theory in communications and media studies. The book examines early metaphors of communication such as the transmission of messages or the performance of rituals, finding that subsequent media theory hinging on the social construction of meaning provides a particularly fertile way of understanding the built environment: one in which the users and observers of structures and spaces participate along with their architects or designers. This metaphor of how houses, schools, places of worship, factories, office buildings, stores, malls, opera houses, plazas, parks, and numerous other built environments have meaning for people as subjective life-worlds is the main avenue of exploration in the book. Using practice theory in conjunction with the concept of style, the book is anchored in three historical determinants: the longstanding politically-motivated ideal of achieving harmony with the universe through perfect proportion in buildings; the implication of the belief in architectural determinism in this quest for cosmic communication; and the ongoing efforts within other media to influence how built environments, or those considered architecture, are understood by those experiencing them. Using historical materials and case studies ranging over many centuries and cultures, the basic thesis is what might be called architectural communicability - that built environments are judged by the values they communicate."-- Provided by publisher |
