This is the technical heart of the book. As postmodernists revived historical forms, typology became a battleground.
In countries where English-language architectural theory books are not stocked in local bookstores (e.g., India, Brazil, parts of Africa and Eastern Europe), shipping costs double the price. The PDF becomes the only viable entry point to the Western canon.
Finally, Nesbitt argued that architectural theory was not a set of instructions, but a text to be interpreted. She brought in literary criticism (Derrida, Foucault) to show that design is a form of writing. This opened the door for Deconstructivism, but crucially, she warned against Deconstructivism becoming another empty style.
