ReviewsThrough Deleuze, the editors argue provocatively, even theory 'exhaustion' can produce valuable new engagements with the built-environment.

SynopsisCritiques the legacy and ongoing influence of Deleuze on the discipline and practice of architecture. This collection looks critically at how Deleuze challenges architecture as a discipline, how architecture contributes to philosophy and how we can come to understand the complex politics of space of our increasingly networked world.
