In ihrem Buch «Architecture and the Burdens of Linearity» werden aktuelle Auseinandersetzungen über das Verhältnis von Theorie und Praxis in der Architektur geführt, die Gesetze der Geometrie, Karten, architektonische Pläne, Systeme des architektonischen Wissens und Mythologien des architektonischen Ursprungs in Werken von Le Corbusier, Vitruv, Alberti, Tafuri, Derrida, Lévi-Strauss, Shakespeare, Lacan, Deleuze, Rilke und Stendhal betrachtet.
Preface_ «This book is about lines and linearity in architecture, but it is not about the generation of lines – that is, it isn`t precisely about architectural drawing. It is certainly philosophical in some sense, but the issue it deals with are not, finally, the issues of philosophy. The philosophical life of the line and the architectural life of the line intersect, and this intersection is complicated for both sides. But I want to underscore the fact that nothing is balanced in this composition. The theoretical considerations of this text are driven – indeed, can make sense at all – from only one side of the philosophy-architecture pair: namely, the architecture side.» (1)
