Architecture and Authorship is a collection of 17 essays by leading international architectural historians that explore issues of authorship, ownership and 'copyright' in architecture. The book includes both contemporary and historical case studies, tracing how since the fifteenth century, architects and architectural movements have endeavoured to maintain their status by defending what they see as their own unique territory - the origins and intentions of their work, and their signature style. Case studies include domestic space; eighteenth century landscape gardens; the Berlin of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century; postmodernism and the 'Death of the Author'. The book also explores the work of luminaries from Ernst Neufert and Cedric Price to Lewis Caroll, Rem Koolhaas, and Peter Eisenman. The result of the Annual Meeting of The Society of Architectural Historians held in Vancouver in 2005, Architecture and Authorship is global in scope and farreaching in its implications. An alternative look at the history and culture of architecture, Architecture and Authorship includes original research into themes that are of increasing importance to contemporary architectural theory and practice relating to indemnity, ownership, gender, and the writing of history.
