What is Exploring Architectural Transparency Concepts about?

Vidler analyzes the concept of transparency in architecture from its origins to its postmodern critique and return. He discusses how transparency was seen as a way to achieve inspection and modern monumentality but ultimately leads to obscurity or reflectivity. Vidler then examines how late 20th century architects like OMA presented new notions of "translucency" that suspended perception between transparency and opacity, creating uncanny and estranging effects for the viewer.
