Download or read book Terms of Appropriation written by Amanda Reeser Lawrence and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection focuses on how architectural material is transformed, revised, swallowed whole, plagiarized, or in any other way appropriated. It charts new territory within this still unexplored yet highly topical area of study by establishing a shared vocabulary with which to discuss, or contest, the workings of appropriation as a vital and progressive aspect of architectural discourse. Written by a group of rising scholars in the field of architectural history and criticism, the chapters cover a range of architectural subjects that are linked in their investigations of how architects engage with their predecessors.
