Throughout the 19th century, the fields shared a common icon--the primitive hut--and a common concern with both routine needs and ceremonial behaviours. Both could lay strong claims to a special knowledge of the everyday. And yet, in the 20th century, notwithstanding genre classics such as Bernard Rudofsky's \u003ci\u003eArchitecture without Architects\u003c\/i\u003e or Paul Oliver's \u003ci\u003eShelter\u003c\/i\u003e, and various attempts to make architecture anthropocentric (such as Corbusier's \u003ci\u003eModulor\u003c\/i\u003e), disciplinary exchanges between architecture and anthropology were often disappointingly slight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book attempts to locate the various points of departure that might be taken in a contemporary discussion between architecture and anthropology. The results are radical: post-colonial theory is here counterpoised to 19th-century theories of primitivism, archaeology is set against dentistry, fieldwork is juxtaposed against indigenous critique, and climate science is applied to questions of shelter. This publication will be of interest to both architects and anthropologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe chapters in this book were originally published within two special issues of \u003cem\u003eArchitectural Theory Review\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45240405360791,"sku":"9780367583729","price":3770.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367583729.webp?v=1769225409","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/architecture-and-anthropology-9780367583729","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
