Non design : architecture liberalism and the market Introduction Planned order versus spontaneous order New brutalism and the critique of socialism : non design and the new visual order The borax debates : from modern design to non design Spontaneous city : Jane Jacobs and the critique of planned order Chaos or control : non design and the American city The indeterminate city Conclusion In his inventive manuscript Anthony Fontenot reveals the affinities between Friedrich Hayeks libertarian conception of state power and the aesthetic deregulation sought by non design architects and urbanists of the 1960s and 1970s such as Reyner Banham Robert Venturi Denise Scott Brown and Jane Jacobs. These figures generally considered liberals who rejected the cultural presuppositions of high architecture sought to let capitalism reveal what the American built environment could or should be. Fontenot further limns the implications of this affinity for political liberalism drawing surprising connections between the cultural turn away from the state and the evolution of aesthetics and the built environment
