Know about the book -

Scandalous Space is written by Alessandro Zambelli and published by AADR – Art Architecture Design Research. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3887789091 (ISBN 10) and 9783887789091 (ISBN 13).

If architecture is a design-centred discipline which proceeds by suggesting propositional constructions then, Zambelli argues, archaeology also designs, but in the form of reconstructions. He proposes that whilst practitioners of architecture and archaeology generally purport to practice in future-facing and past-facing-modes respectively, elements of these disciplines also resemble one another. Zambelli speculates that whilst some of these resemblances have remained explicit and revealed, others have become occluded with time, but that all such resemblances share homological similarities of interconnected disciplinary origin making available in the scandalous space between them a logically underpinned, visually analogical form of practice.
