In Pursuit of Architecture Fiction

Pages 18-20 | Received 09 Dec 2010, Published online: 22 May 2013
 

Abstract

This essay examines the role of architecture fiction and ecstatic realism as strategies for architects working within a protracted period of economic collapse. It reviews the history of the concept of architecture fiction and explores Werner Herzog’s idea of ecstatic realism as a means of understanding what the possibilities are for the interaction of art and architecture. Through a series of examples, I explore the development of innovative ways of interpreting the world.
