Reviews"As it traces the derailings and mistranslations of utopian intentions, (The Sphere and the Labyrinth) offers a powerful corrective to conventional histories emphasizing the heroism of the avant-garde. It... also forces the question of whether an ethical architecture is possible." -Christina Spellman, Telos

Edition DescriptionReprint

SynopsisTafuri's work is probably the most innovative and exciting new form of European theory since French poststructuralism and this book is probably the best introduction to it for the newcomer. ..., Tafuri probes the lines between reality and ideology, the gap that avant-garde ideology places between its own demands and its translation into techniques, the ways in which the avant-garde reaches compromises with the world, and the conditions that permit its existence. Manfredo Tafuri is the Director of the Department of History of Architecture at the Istituto Universitario di Architettura in Venice.
