内容简介
······
Critical theories such as those of the Frankfurt School of the twenties and thirties gave rise to a complex and sophisticated critique of modernity and modernism. The history and theory of twentieth-century architecture, which developed rather independently of this rich tradition, appear naive and unbalanced in comparison. In this exploration of the relationship between modernity, dwelling, and architecture, Hilde Heynen attempts to bridge this gap between the discourse of the modern movement and cultural theories of modernity. On one hand, she discusses architecture from the perspective of critical theory, and on the other she modifies positions within critical theory by linking them with architecture. She assesses architecture as a cultural field that structures daily life and that embodies major contradictions inherent in modernity, arguing that architecture nonetheless has a certain capacity to adopt a critical stance vis-a-vis modernity.Besides presenting a theoretical discussion of the relation between architecture, modernity, and dwelling, the book provides architectural students with an introduction to the discourse of critical theory. The subchapters on Walter Benjamin, Ernst Bloch, Theodor Adorno, and the Venice School (Tafuri, Dal Co, Cacciari) can be studied independently.

评论 ······
最后的结论是建筑必须通过阿多诺的模仿来实现其揭示生活以及“居”的意义，解决现代以来的张力而不是避免或者掩盖它。虽然教科书式地介绍了许多人（非贬义），但并不仅是对“现代”的词典性的意义梳理，其对建筑的使命感也在最后一章中显现出来了（阿多诺也是最头大的部分）
fair stretch of modern architure, to its historical emergence of modernity
A good summary and synthesis; discussion goes along two conflicting lines of ideas: architecture as a cultural activity but it could be realized only in a money and power milieu.
读的是台湾翻译版，非常不错的一本书，基于法兰克福学派的思想对现代性的分析到位，并且充分移植到了建筑的批判上！启发！
