Description

Studying the relation of architecture to society; this book explains the manner in which the discipline of architecture adjusted itself in order to satisfy new pressures by society. Consequently; it offers an understanding of contemporary conditions and phenomena; ranging from the ubiquity of landmark buildings to the celebrity status of architects. It concerns the period spanning from 1966 to the first years of the current century – a period which saw radical change in economy; politics; and culture and a period in which architecture radically transformed; substituting the alleged dreariness of modernism with spectacle.
