ABSTRACT

This book imagines and articulates an architectural subjectivity privileged as impersonal effects, to be explored in the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, by retracing steps taken earlier, in the 1970s and 1980s, by cultural and architectural protagonists in the United States and Japan. The following discussions pursue a more abstract and, therefore, timely investigation of the form and function of impersonal effects in the architectural encounter.
