Critique of Architecture offers a renewed and radical theorization of the relations between capital and architecture. It explicates the theoretical gymnastics through which architecture legitimates its services to neoliberalism, examines the discipline’s production of platforms for happily compliant consumers, and challenges its entrepreneurial self-image. Critique of Architecture also addresses the discourse of autonomy, questioning its capacity to engage effectively with the terms and conditions of capitalism today, analyses the post-political turns of contemporary architecture theory, and reckons with the legacies and limitations of critical theory.

"It is a book (one of Edwin Heathcote's must-read titles of 2021, it should be noted) that left-leaning intellectuals interested in reorienting architecture's position in society should have — if they don't already, as I'm guessing many do" (archidose.blogspot.com)
Douglas Spencer, Associate Professor of Architecture, Iowa State University
