On the Grounds of Modern Architecture: An Interview with Kenneth Frampton
In connection with the publication of Kenneth Frampton’s A Genealogy of Modern Architecture: Comparative Critical Analysis of Built Form, Thomas McQuillan conducted an interview in March of 2016 with Frampton to discuss the book’s background and the implications publication has for contemporary architecture. The book consists of close comparative analyses of 28 modern buildings, two by two, in order to interrogate their spatial, constructive, envelopmental, and programmatic characteristics. Prefaced by a synoptic note, with a highly concentrated exposition of the history of modern architecture, and building on his reading of Arendt’s The Human Condition, the book seeks the meaning of architecture in the tectonic — the way it is built — in more than just the spaces it affords and the images that it projects. Frampton shares the history of his ideas on tectonics and the fragility of the modern project in today’s neoliberal climate.
