Dirty Theory: Troubling Architecture

by Hélène Frichot

Dirty theory follows the dirt of material and conceptual relations from the midst of complex milieus. It messes with mixed disciplines, showing up in ethnography, in geography, in philosophy, and discovering a suitable habitat in architecture, design and the creative arts. Dirty theory disrupts a comfortable status quo, including our everyday modes of inhabitation and our habits of thinking. This small book argues that we must work with the dirt to develop an ethics of care and mainte- nance for our precarious environment-worlds.

Interesting, I wish there was perhaps more storytelling to it to make some of the projects and references mentioned a bit more accessible to non theorists, a bit more dirty for a wider public that isn’t as academic, the drawings and pictures were nice accompaniements to the explanations.
