Notes
1. A useful summary of the debate had been provided by Mark Jazombek's “The state of ‘theory’” in Architektur & Theorie: Produktion und Reflexion = Architecture & theory: production and reflection, ed. Louise King, (Hamburg: Junius Verlag, 2009), 262–272.
2. To name but a few: Carlos Martí Aris, Gaston Bachelard, Gernot Böhme, O.F. Bollnow, Philippe Boudon, Massimo Cacciari, Bernard Cache, Jean-Louis Cohen, Hubert Damisch, Christian Girard, Juan José Lahuerta, Bart Lootsma, Frédéric Migayrou, Werner Oechslin, Kas Oosterhuis, Daniel Payot, Paolo Portoghesi, Josep Quetglas, Patrick Schumacher, Peter Sloterdijk, Ignasi De Solà-Morales, Lars Spuybroek, Georges Teyssot, many of whom actually write in English or have been translated. It must also be noted that even a few academics in Anglo-Saxon institutions such as Marco Frascari, Mark Goulthorpe, Gevork Hartoonian, Felipe Hernández, Jeffrey Kipnis, Sanford Kwinter, Detlef Mertins and Colin St. John Wilson also seem missing in action.
3. Hans-Georg Gadamer, PraiseofTheory:SpeechesandEssays, translated by Chris Dawson, (New Haven and London: Yale University Press, 1998), 19.
