Asger Jorn's Concept of Architecture Revealed

However, in contrast to his artistic oeuvre, Jorn’s theoretical arguments have received much less attention from scholars of architecture, art history, or philosophy. This book for the first time reveals this largely ignored aspect of Jorn’s work. By developing the concept of an ‘Architecture Sauvage’, a notion coined by Guy Debord many years later, Asger Jorn tries to map out a series of perspectives for the way modern architecture can help to create a pleasing and dynamic everyday environment for human beings.
