In turn, architecture as a thinking profession materializes theory in the form of built work that always carries symbolic loads. In this collection of essays, Catherine Ingraham studies the complex connectivity between architecture's discipline and practice and theories of philosophy, art, literature, history, and politics. She argues that there can be no architecture without theory. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhether considering architecture's relationship to biomodernity or exploring the ways in which contemporary artists and designers engage in figural play, Ingraham offers provocative interpretations that enhance our understanding of both critical theory and architectural practice today. Along the way, she engages with a wide range of contemporary theorists, including Giorgio Agamben, Judith Butler, Jacques Derrida, Graham Harman, and Timothy Morton, considering buildings around the world, including the Palace of Culture in Warsaw, the Viceroy's House complex in New Delhi, Mack Scogin and Merrill Elam's Wolfsburg Science Center project in Germany, and the Superdome in New Orleans. Approaching its subject matter from multiple angles, \u003ci\u003eArchitecture's Theory \u003c\/i\u003eshows how architecture's theoretical and artifactual practices have a unique power to alter culture.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCatherine Ingraham is a professor of architecture and urban design in the graduate architecture program at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn.
