Prof. John Macarthur’s new book, Is Architecture Art?, draws on accessible and thought-provoking accounts of historical and contemporary architectural and art theory. This authoritative new volume interrogates the relevance of philosophical aesthetics to the practice of making buildings, and asks why this relationship matters to the discipline of architecture.
