Item description from seller

Dark navy hardcover with title in gilt on spine. Condition: Very good, binding sound, text clean, no inscriptions. Dustjacket condition: Very good, with light shelfwear. 208pp. Many b/w illustrations. In this book, the author discusses architectural competitions, perhaps the most prominent and symbolic way in which society chooses the built form of the future. Architectural competitions are fundamentally a debate and in this debate the architect must sell a particular way of seeing. She focuses on competitions in the Norwegian capital, Oslo from 1939 to 1997 to illustrate her analysis.
