Reality demands a theory : Reader 2: The complexity of our times. Issues and opportunities

• An Architecture Theory reader for students and other scholars interested in contemporary theory, the social sciences and architecture.Excavating the real is no longer enough. Merely having all the resources and facts available doesn't mean, of itself, that they produce interesting answers. Intellectuals, artists, architects and other producers of cultural capital can no longer live the permanent myth of rhetorical and aesthetic poetry without being able to relate to the social and political problems of the world. What we need is a theory able to pose urgent questions for the future. Speculative models need to be developed; asking what it means to be Modern today, which can be grasped within the very domain of praxis, able to renew from within.
