Sobre este artículo
Penquin Press:, 2005. 403 pages. This book "explores the intimate relationship, liking buildings, power, money and politics. Architecture, the author argues, must be understood primarily not as art, but as an expression of power of a landscape that will last far longer than we do- a unique instrument of statecraft." FINE HARDCOVER, FINE DUST JACKET.. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
Sinopsis
The Edifice Complex explores the intimate and inextricable relationship between power, money and architecture in the twentieth century. How and why have presidents, prime ministers, mayors, millionaires and bishops come to share such a fascination with grand designs? From Blair to Mitterrand, from Hitler to Stalin to Saddam Hussein, architecture has become an end in itself, as well as a means to an end. This is a book of genuine timeliness, throwing new light on the motivations of the rich and powerful around the world - and on the ways they seek to affect us.
