Summary:

The author "writes an account of the 'late avant-garde' as an architecture systematically twisting back on itself, pondering its own historical status, and deliberately exploring architure's representational possibilities right up to their absolute limits ... an architecture confronting its own boundaries with objects of ever more reflexivity, difficulty, and intransigence."--Back cover.
