Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Shortlist, 2025 Architectural Book Award in Architectural TheoryTo study the built environment of the Americas is to wrestle with an inherent contradiction. While the disciplines of architecture, urban design, landscape, and planning share the fundamental belief that space and place matter, the overwhelming majority of canonical knowledge and the vernacular used to describe these disciplines comes from Europe, a very different continent. With this book, Fernando Luiz Lara discusses several theories of spacedrawing on cartography, geography, anthropology, and architectureand proposes counterweights to five centuries of Eurocentrism. The first part of Spatial Theories for the Americas offers a critique of Eurocentrism in the discipline of architecture, problematizing its theoretical foundation in relation to the inseparability of modernization and colonization. The second part makes explicit the insufficiencies of a hegemonic Western tradition at the core of spatial theories by discussing a long list of authors who have thought about the Americas. To overcome centuries of Eurocentrism, Lara concludes, will require a tremendous effort, but, nonetheless, scholars and architects of the Americas have the responsibility of looking at their built environments through their own lenses. Spatial Theories for the Americas proposes a fundamental step in that direction.
