The Italian architect and historian Manfredo Tafuri (b. Rome, 1935; d. Venice, 1994) made a decisive contribution to the practice of architectural history, yet the breadth of his bibliography and the depth of his perception into historical problems remains largely unexplored even today. The first English-language book to consider his contribution to architectural culture, it opens an overdue discussion on both the premises of his practice and the historical questions that consequently emerge.
Andrew Leach was born in New Zealand in 1976. As an architectural historian, he specializes in twentieth century New Zealand, on which he has two books: Frederick H Newman: Lectures on Architecture, published here by A&S Books in 2003, and Campus Confessions: Architecture and the Central Institute of Technology, published in 2004. His articles appear in Architectural Theory Review, The Journal of Architecture, The Journal of New Zealand Studies, Fabrications and Mosaic. He is co-editor of Fabrications: The Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, Australia and New Zealand. Leach is Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Queensland, Australia.
