ArchitectureWeek Description
The author argues that architecture, far from being auteur art, must be understood as a naked expression of power. From the grandiose projects of Stalin and Hitler to the "theme park" excess of today’s presidential libraries, Sudjic goes behind the scenes of history’s great manipulators of building propaganda and exposes Rem Koolhaas, Frank Gehry, and other architects in a disturbing new light.
