The Routledge Companion to Contemporary Architectural History offers a comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge report on recent developments in architectural production and research. Divided into three parts – Practices, Interrogations, and Innovations – this book charts diversity, criticality, and creativity in architectural interventions to meet challenges and enact changes in different parts of the world through featured exemplars and fresh theoretical orientations.

The collection features 29 chapters written by leading architectural scholars and highlights the reciprocity between the historical and the contemporary, research and practice, and disciplinary and professional knowledge. Providing an essential map for navigating the complex currents of contemporary architecture, the Companion will interest students, academics, and practitioners who wish to bolster their understanding of built environments.

Duanfang Lu is Professor of Architecture and Urbanism and Associate Dean (Research Education) in the School of Architecture, Design and Planning at the University of Sydney. She is ranked as the world’s 16th most influential researcher in Architecture in 1996–2018 by PLOS. Her widely read books Remaking Chinese Urban Form (2006, 2011) and Third World Modernism (2011) were also published by Routledge.
