摘要
A review of Pari Riahi, Laure Katsaros and Michael T. Davis (eds), Exactitude: On Precision and Play in Contemporary Architecture, Amherst: University of Massachusetts Press, 2022, 216 pages, 38 illus. ISBN: 9781625346728. The book is a timely, well-crafted and wide-ranging collection of essays that stake out contrasting and, at times, contradictory positions toward exactitude in architectural theory and practice. Using Italo Calvino's Six Memos for the Millenium as a starting point, the essays share a common goal of exploring how a critical understanding of the ethical and imaginative capabilities of exactitude can help us appreciate the agency of architects.
