Slow Architecture? - The Myth if Local Resistance to Globalization in Architecture: A Critique

Over the last decade the definition of architecture (and especially theory of architecture) as a “critical practice” has been challenged by a “post-critical” or “projective” stance, expressing pragmatist concerns against the futility of “critical” architecture respectively theory. These have played a major role in architectural debates in the past three decades: under the banner of “Criticality”, the theory of architecture was recognized and professionalized as a regular academic discipline, with its own programs and chairs, with distinct “critical” magazines and publications, exhibitions and symposia, what lead to the effect that “Criticality” became synonymous with the theory of architecture.
