Anyhow asks "how," in relation to process, infrastructure, money, information, and program, is architecture in fact done today? How do we realize effects beyond and sometimes even at odds with policies and official regulations, with local interests and global demands? How might architecture analyze or diagram these zones of operation in order to intervene in them? How might other kinds of futures be opened up for and from within architecture? Twelve architects, including Arata Isozaki, Paul Andreu, Rem Koolhaas, Peter Eisenman, Nasrine Seraji, and Bernard Tschumi, join critics Fredric Jameson, Hubert Damisch, Elizabeth Grosz, Beatriz Colomina, Kojin Karatani, and others to discuss how architecture is perceived and operates today in arenas ranging from the architecture studio to the building to the urban landscape.
