Trading Between Architecture and Art does not attempt to answer the question of whether architecture is an art but considers the question itself: how it affects architecture, and art, as a practice + a discipline. This volume aims to identify the overlaps and misalignments between concepts + categories implied in the question and to trace the impact of these on the ways that art and architecture are valued.
By unpacking the historical and current interests at stake in defining architecture as art, Trading between Architecture and Art reconsiders the place of architecture in contemporary culture.
