Thresholds 15: Creativity in Consumer Culture; Fall, 1997 (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book investigates the relationship between architecture and consumer culture, particularly regarding postmodernism's aesthetics and their influence on architectural form. The author argues that postmodern designs prioritise appealing to consumer desire rather than any meaningful expression or integration with production methodologies, and characterises postmodernism as an art form that has become a status symbol and commodified object. The author also discusses architecture in the context of globalised consumption and production, maintaining that the production and design of buildings has become more like the production of manufactured goods and less like a service, leading to a detachment of architects from the actual physical production of spaces and a spatial separation of producers from consumers. Ultimately, the author argues that the elevation of certain designers to the status of 'stars' and the focus on surface level aesthetics in postmodern architecture has contributed to a loss of the relationship between architecture and urban and social concerns. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781333258191_0
