Scott examines projects, conceptual work, exhibitions, publications, pedagogical initiatives, and agitprop performances that had as their premise the belief that architecture could be ethically and politically relevant. Although most of these strategies were far from the mainstream of American architectural practice, Scott suggests that their ambition - the demonstration of architecture's ongoing potential for social and political engagement - was nonetheless remarkable."--Jacket. 0aArchitecturezUnited StatesxHistoryy20th century.2Local 0aArchitecture and society.zUnited StatesxHistoryy20th century.2Local 0aArchitecture and TechnologyzUnited StatesxHistoryy20th century.2Local 0aArchitecture, PostmodernzUnited States.2Local
