Synopsis:
A narrative analysis of the role played by the wealthy and powerful classes in architecture argues that architecture must be understood as an expression of power and propaganda rather than art, exploring a range of structures and large-scale building schemes commissioned by such figures as Hitler, Rockefeller, and Saddam Hussein as part of their efforts to wield control and shape national identity. 20,000 first printing.
About the Author: Deyan Sudjic has been the architecture critic of The Observer newspaper in London since 2000. After graduating with an architecture degree from the University of Edinburgh, he established Blueprint magazine, an international monthly review of architecture and design that broke new ground by covering the entire spectrum of design disciplines. He also edits the Italian magazine Domus and is the author of many previous books on architecture.
