Recenzii
Shaping the Surface adopts the stance that the familiar appeal for depth could be reversed: that we must concentrate on appearance; we must become superficial. It is a fascinating point of departure which returns meaning to the fact of being in the world, the surface being the site where we and others meet.
Stephen Kite boldly brings together some unlikely bed-fellows in this perceptive study of the persistence of surface in English architecture. Where most studies of this period focus on its transitions and disjunctures, Kite reveals a surprising level of continuity in the primacy of surface in architects as varied as Ruskin, Bodley, Holden, the Smithsons and Caruso St John.
