Description

Bringing together an international group of contributors, who provide informed and varied points of view on the role of the unconscious in architectural design and theory, this book expands architectural theory to unexplored areas, enriching architecture in relation to the humanities. It explores how architecture engages dreams, desires, imagination, memory, and emotions, how architecture can appeal to a broader scope of human experience and identity. Beginning by examining the historical development of the engagement of the unconscious in architectural discourse, and the current and historical, theoretical and practical, intersections of architecture and psychoanalysis, the volume also analyses the city and the urban condition.
