Title: Brunelleschi, Lacan, Le Corbusier
Description: "A major new interpretive work on the nature of space, this book is for theorists of architecture, art, and visual studies. It interprets the fifteenth-century demonstration of perspective for today by putting it in relation to contemporary theories of subjectivity. Putting forward a theoretical link between architecture and psychoanalysis that has not been elaborated before, the book opens the way for the Lacanian critique of architecture that is now a familiar feature of discourse in the other arts and social sciences. The link between the inner world of the psyche and the exterior world of architectural space is as fundamental as it is problematic, and is perhaps therefore inevitable."--Jacket.
