"translated by Graham Thompson" edited by Sarah Whiting
"Following traces that are neither modern nor postmodern, Ignasi de Sol-Morales opens a deterritorialized territory harboring rich possibilities for architectural theory and practice. Philosophically astute and critically savvy, "Differences" resists the fashionable allure of nihilism by discerning creative resources circulating in the chaotic currents of contemporary culture."
-- Mark C. Taylor, Preston S. Parish Professor of Humanities, Williams College
"Ignasi de Sol-Morales' term "starting points" perfectly captures the light and acute temperament of these essays. With the nimble ease of Deleuzean vectors, these writings start from contemporary practice and move into fresh horizons of architectural thinking. At a time when most architectural writing seems to fall within either the limits of journalism or the rigorous territories of academic research, this collection of texts draws an unfrequented path of discourse, a "topography" that becomes an invitation to approach architectural ideas through pleasures of reading."
-- Xavier Costa, Head, Department of Architecture, Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, Spain "Differences" brings together ten essays written over the past decade by the distinguished Spanish architect and theorist Ignasi de Sol-Morales. Many of the essays have never previously been translated, and the author has provided a new introduction especially for this English edition.
