Résumé :

This bookassembles a selection of papers that broadly rethink how the appearance of the formations of the ugly operated in postmodern architecture to transgress aesthetic borders. In this context the edited collection offers a diverse reappraisal of postmodernist aesthetics in architectural theory-historiography. This anthology focuses on the specific processes and manifestations of the anti-aesthetic category of ugliness, and how the different registers of ugliness have slipped in or have been put to use in recent architecture.
