In this episode of the A is for Architecture Podcast, I spoke with Chris L. Smith, Professor of Architectural Theory at the University of Sydney, to discuss his book, Architecture After Deleuze and Guattari (Bloomsbury 2023). We explore how the philosophies of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari have influenced architectural thought and practice, and the possibilities that we’re all Deleuzo-Guattarian architects now…
Deleuze and Guattari’s significance for architectural theory and design practice lies in their radical rethinking of concepts like form, process and relationality, which have profoundly influenced how architects conceptualize and create space in the late 20th and 21st centuries. Their collaborative works offer a philosophical framework that rejects fixed hierarchies, linear causality and static structures, instead emphasizing multiplicity, fluidity, and dynamic systems, shifting architectural discourse away from traditional modernist principles of order and function towards experimental, process-oriented, and politically engaged practices.
🔗 Learn more about the book via the link above. Chris can be found at work, on Instagram and LinkedIn.
