Summary "Perspecta, the oldest and most respected student-edited architectural journal in the United States, marks its fiftieth anniversary with this selection of pieces published in its pages from the 1950s through the 1990s. The essays and portfolios in [Re]-Reading Perspecta trace the development of architectural culture and discourse over the past fifty years and bear witness to the influential role played by Perspecta in a time of crucial debate about the function and future of architecture." "The editors introduce each section with essays that offer historical context and critical commentary. [Re]-Reading Perspecta also includes essays by Kenneth Frampton, K. Michael Hays, Joan Ockman, and Sandy Isenstadt on the history of Perspecta and its role in architectural discourse. This selection of the best of Perspecta covers a broad spectrum of American architectural design, history, theory, and criticism."--BOOK JACKET
