Jeffrey Kipnis¿s writing, thinking, and teaching casts architecture as both an intellectual discourse and a lived, affective experience. His essays on contemporary architects are less about making critical judgments than about explication, exegesis, and provocation. In these eleven essays, written between 1990 and 2008, he considers projects, concepts, and buildings by some of the most recognized architects working today, with special attention to the productions of affect. Kipnis¿s deft integration of art, critical theory, philosophy, pop culture, classical music, and science¿what the volume¿s editor Alexander Maymind calls ¿ancillary material¿¿into a rigorous architectural theory and criticism makes A Question of Qualities an exemplar of a new way to write about architecture.
