The Singular Objects of Architecture is a book written by French philosopher, Jean Baudrillard. It consists of the two conversations that he had with French architect, Jean Nouvel in 1997 at Maison des Ecrivains and
the University of Paris VI-La Villette School of Architecture. In this book, Baudrillard deals with fundamental issues such as politics, Identity, and aesthetics, and explores the possibilities of modern architecture and the future of our modern life.[1]
The book, developing new philosophical ideas related to architecture, aims to fill the gap between architectural theory and philosophy.[3][4][5]
The Singular Objects of Architecture was originally published in French, but since then it has been translated into many languages including English, German, Italian, Spanish, Turkish, and Arabic.[6]
