Henri Lefebvre on Space by Lukasz Stanek

Henri Lefebvre on Space by Lukasz Stanek

Shows how Lefebvres theory of space developed out of direct engagement with architecture, urbanism, and urban sociology.

"Henri Lefebvre’s diverse contributions to sociospatial and urban theory have inspired considerable commentary in recent yearsLukasz Stanek’s brilliant, erudite book takes the discussion to a new level of philosophical sophistication while also grounding Lefebvre’s work in relation to a series of concrete engagements with architecture and urbanism in postwar France.  This is a pathbreaking work, indispensable for anyone concerned to understand Lefebvre’s powerful contemporary resonance as an urban thinker." —Neil Brenner, New York University

"This book is a strong and important reassessment of the theories and writings of Lefebvre. As cities are becoming more and more an essential part of our political, spatial, and architectural world, Lukasz Stanek launches a type of new generational take on Lefebvre, one that is both more contextual and more speculative." —Mark Jarzombek, MIT

Lukasz Stanek is postdoctoral researcher and teacher at the Institute of History and Theory of Architecture (GTA), Faculty of Architecture, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich.
