Synopsis
All across the world a uniform, homogeneous model of development, inspired by Los Angeles style urban sprawl—consisting of massive freeways, parking lots, shopping malls, and large-scale masterplanned communities with golf courses—is being stamped onto the earth's topography. This globalized model of architecture does not respect or adapt itself to the natural or cultural environment onto which it is implanted.
German American photographer Robert Harding Pittman began working on this project in Los Angeles ten years ago. Since then he has been photographing the spread of "L.A. style development" in Las Vegas, Spain, France, Germany, Greece, Dubai, and South Korea.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Überall auf der Welt wird ein einheitliches homogenes Bauplanungsmodell nach dem Muster des Los Angeles 'urban sprawl' - mit den vielspurigen Autobahnen, Parkplätzen, Einkaufszentren und groß angelegten Siedlungen mit Golfplätzen - auf das Gesicht der Erde gesetzt. Mit diesem anonymen Vorbild des Siedlungsbaus sind die Zerstörung der Umwelt, der Verlust der Kultur und eine Entwurzelung, wie auch eine Entfremdung verbunden. Dieses globale einheitliche Modell der Architektur respektiert weder die natürliche noch die kulturelle Umwelt, auf die sie verpflanzt wird. Wie wir in der jüngeren Vergangenheit gesehen haben, hat die überhitzte Baukonjunktur zu einer Krise geführt, nicht nur finanziell, sondern auch für die Umwelt, das soziale Gefüge, und auch zu psychologischen Problemen.Der deutsch-amerikanische Fotograf Robert Harding Pittman fing vor zehn Jahren an, in Los Angeles an diesem Projekt mit dem vielsagenden Titel Anonymisierung - Die globale Ausbreitung urbaner Siedlungsentwicklung zu arbeiten. Seitdem ist er um die Welt gereist, um die Verbreitung des 'L.A.-Planungsstils' in Las Vegas, Spanien, Frankreich, Deutschland, Griechenland, Dubai und Südkorea zu fotografieren. Die Welt befand sich inmitten eines Baubooms, als das Projekt begann. In der Zwischenzeit wurden die meisten Kräne stillgelegt. Seller Inventory # 9783868282887
