The Architecture of Transgression, eBook App

Transgression will explore the idea that those working on and
beyond the architectural periphery can make a positive impact on
the mainstream. In much the same way as the avant-garde of a
century ago - Dada, Surrealism and early Modernism -
influenced and undermined established thinking and method, it shows
how similarly transgressive practices are being adopted by
architects to help reinvent and reposition the profession. The
transgressive architect engages with conceptual art, pioneers urban
intervention, interacts with informal development, breaks barriers
of taste, shifts between research and practice, creates critical
projects and is an activist and perhaps even a "new Utopian".
