What would it mean for architecture to assemble such discrepant evidence into its discourse?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eArguing that the persistent refrains of lived affect dwell in architecture, this book traces such refrains to a concept of architecture wedged in the middle ground--jammed amidst life, things and events. Rather than being aloof from its surrounds, architecture-in-the-midst challenges an autonomous epistemology. Beyond accounting for the vivid but excluded, this book develops a frame and a disposition for thinking critically about, speculatively through, and being grounded by, encounter. Examining affect through a constellation of spaces in contemporary Singapore, it details architecture's uneasy but inextricable relationship with key subjects relegated to the incommensurate, the peripheral, the scenic and the decorative. The outcome is a politicized architectural discourse simultaneously grounded and speculative; bridging depth and intuition, thinking and feeling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46931716636823,"sku":"9781472454638","price":11312.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781472454638.webp?v=1771615624","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/architecture-and-affect-precarious-spaces-9781472454638","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
