the dialectic of silence : Klee, Kahn, and the space of transversal modernity in Iran
Architectures of Transversality investigates the relationship between modernity, space,
power, and culture in Iran. Focusing on Paul Klee's Persian-inspired miniature series
and Louis Kahn's unbuilt blueprint for a democratic public space in Tehran, it traces
the architectonics of the present as a way of moving beyond universalist and nationalist
accounts of modernism. Transversality is a form of spatial production and practice
that addresses the three important questions of the self, objects, and power. Using
Deleuzian and Heideggerian theory, the book introduces the practices of Klee and Kahn
as transversal spatial responses to the dialectical tension between existential and
political territories and, in doing so, situates the history of the silent, unrepresented
and the unbuilt - constructed from the works of Klee and Kahn - as a possible solution
to the crisis of modernity and identity-based politics in Iran
