THEORY Kenneth Frampton

Considered one of the key figures in architectural theory, history and criticism of the last forty years, Kenneth Frampton is often identified only with his classic Critical History of Modern Architecture. However, his theoretical work goes much further and is disseminated in a multitude of articles and essays that have appeared in different publications.

This book presents a selection of three texts published by Frampton around the 1980s . In them we rediscover the great English thinker and some of the principles and ideas that have marked his intellectual career, such as the strong influence that Hannah Arendt exerted on his work or the importance that Frampton has always attached to the poetics of construction.
