This book is an anthology of some forty essays, both written and
photographic, which developed in response to a symposium and exhibition held by
the Netherlands Architecture Institute in late 1998. Its aim was nothing less
than a conceptual mapping in both architectural and non-architectural terms of
South Africa. Featured are contributions by prominent thinkers and
practitioners in the fields of architecture, urban planning, history, politics,
demographics, sociology, gender studies, philosophy, art criticism, and
journalism. Together they attempt to describe a nexus of architectural and
political issues in South Africa: questions of community, homeland,
environment, power and race. Illustrated with 300 archival images,
architectural drawings and photographs, blank: Interrogating Architecture After
Apartheid is essential reading both for architectural theorists as well as
anyone interested in politics of urban space.
