Description

Architecture and Capitalism tells a story of the relationship between the economy and architectural design. Eleven historians every discuss in modern essays the period of time they know best, having a look at cultural and economic issues, which in light of current economic crises you are going to find have dealt with diverse but surprisingly familiar economic issues. Told through case studies, the narrative begins in the mid-nineteenth century and ends with 2011, with introductions by Editor Peggy Deamer to pull the principle themes together as a way to see how other architects in different times and in different countries have dealt with similar economic conditions. By focussing on what previous architects experienced, you might have the opportunity to keep away from repeating the past.

With new essays by Pier Vittorio Aureli, Ellen Dunham-Jones, Keller Easterling, Lauren Kogod, Robert Hewison, Joanna Merwood-Salisbury, Robin Schuldenfrei, Deborah Gans, Simon Sadler, Nathan Wealthy, and Micahel Sorkin.
