Opis

Suitable for architects, this book focuses on the work of critic Homi K Bhabha, who's work has been used as a means to analyse architectural practices in colonised contexts. It reveals how his work contributes to architectural theory and the study of contemporary architectures in general, not only in colonial and postcolonial contexts.
