Governing by Design offers a unique perspective on twentieth-century architectural history. It disputes the primacy placed on individuals in the design and planning process and instead looks to the larger influences of politics, culture, economics, and globalization to uncover the roots of how our built environment evolves.
In these chapters, historians offer their analysis on design as a vehicle for power and as a mediator of social currents. Power is defined through a variety of forms: modernization, obsolescence, technology, capital, ergonomics, biopolitics, and others. The chapters explore the diffusion of power through the establishment of norms and networks that frame human conduct, action, identity, and design. They follow design as it functions through the body, in the home, and at the state and international level.
Overall, Aggregate views the intersection of architecture with the human need for what Foucault termed “governmentality”—societal rules, structures, repetition, and protocols—as a way to provide security and tame risk. Here, the conjunction of power and the power of design reinforces governmentality and infuses a sense of social permanence despite the exceedingly fluid nature of societies and the disintegration of cultural memory in the modern era.

读了intro和Arup一章,历史真是三分挖,七分写,或者说资料只有通过审慎地筛选和组织才能make sense

从设计/建筑事件入手,试图以建筑史反哺二十世纪现代化的历史。虽然但是...只有极少数篇幅把目光转向自下而上的抵抗运动,除此以外整体上还是有点致郁... The so-called "two-way street" is by no means symmetrical. 尽管这个事实没什么好争辩的,总还是希望能有更有建(kuai)设性(le)的理论框架。
