As a result, its impact on architecture has always been confined to academia. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy presenting an introductory but in-depth formalization of Baudrillard's interest in architecture and related fields, this book makes intelligible his philosophical premises thus showing, through the prism of architecture, their relevance and persuasiveness today. Key concepts such as the object system, the \u003cem\u003ecode\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003esimulation\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003ehyperreality\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eprecession\u003c\/em\u003e, to name a few, are addressed in the light of the specially reconceptualized key construct of \u003cem\u003eambience\u003c\/em\u003e, thus emphasizing how the mutual concerns of architecture, urban studies and cultural studies provide a fertile ground for debate. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSuch an approach, which focuses on the contradictions inherent in contemporary society from the vantage point of Baudrillard's original involvement in architectural analysis, philosophy and criticism, is one which students, practitioners and scholars alike from as diverse disciplines as architecture, interior design and urban studies - but also fine art, anthropology, sociology, economics, human geography, social psychology and cultural studies to start with - will benefit from immensely.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrancesco Proto\u003c\/strong\u003e is an architect and Senior Lecturer in History and Theory of Architecture at Oxford Brookes University School of Architecture, as well as a member of the editorial board of the \u003cem\u003eInternational\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eJournal of Baudrillard Studies\u003c\/em\u003e.
