Reification and Representation

Architecture in the Politico-Media-Complex

Beschreibung

The book investigates how images of architecture are used in UK and US election campaigns as advertising backdrops, sets for photo shoots, metaphors in policy arguments, and how this has silently, but fundamentally, influenced built form through the ages.
