The late-capitalist society is driven not by production but consumption,not the material but the digital, not services. Within thissystem, every aspect of culture is subjugated to capitalism's doctrine,even art. Of all of the arts, architecture is the most directly dependentupon these external forces. Many theorists and practitioners have addressedthis obligatory relationship, forming two major camps: thosethat reject the external and those that willingly embrace it. However,both sides still conceive of architecture as an object, an image, or aspectacle, making the debate futile. Thus, the process of commodificationcontinues to compromise architecture. In opposition to themonological force of commodification are “fields,” inclusive conditionscapable of accommodating architecture's need for an “autonomousideology,” as well as society's desire for a “cultural commodity,”compromising neither. Is it possible that in considering architectureas a “field condition,” this atrophied debate could be avoided, enablinga return to an architecture of performance rather than appearance?The most fertile ground in which to explore the deflection ofmarket forces is America's greatest landmark, a capitalistic icon, TheWhite House Complex. 2008-08-21 English text University of Cincinnati / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1212162654 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ucin1212162654 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
