In his exacting and irreverent style, Sérgio Ferro reveals how these tools were slowly separated from their origin – instruments in a material process – and turned into a formal language, legitimised through reference to antiquity and alien to the logic of construction and its workers. This transformation is shown to be part of the social, economic, political, and intellectual transition from the Middle Ages to the capitalist era. In tandem, Ferro deciphers the evolution of the professional and disciplinary field of architecture, with its struggles for recognition and its self-deceptions. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing \u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mackbooks.eu\/products\/architecture-from-below-an-anthology-br-sergio-ferro\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Architecture from Below\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eArchitecture from Below\u003c\/a\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mackbooks.co.uk\/products\/architecture-from-below-an-anthology-br-sergio-ferro\" title=\"Architecture from Below\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/mackbooks.eu\/products\/design-and-the-building-site-and-complementary-essays-sergio-ferro\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Design and the Building Site\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eDesign and the Building Site\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e, this third volume of Ferro’s writings presents some of his most recent research, offering a radical reinterpretation of the received history of European architecture, and with it architecture tout court. It offers a deeply material analysis of a subject often either bypassed or overindulged, proposing lucid explanations and inspiring new ways of working. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEdited by Silke Kapp and Mariana Moura \u003cbr\u003eTranslated by Ellen Heyward and Ana Naomi de Sousa \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MACK","offers":[{"title":"PRE-ORDER","offer_id":53007781658890,"sku":"9781915743503","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0595\/9372\/0003\/files\/SF_ConstructionClassicalDesign_cover-front_web.jpg?v=1779977882","url":"https:\/\/mackbooks.eu\/products\/construction-of-classical-design-sergio-ferro","provider":"MACK","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
