Sinopsis

Diana Agrest explores the symbolic dimension of architecture from the perspective of the modern city through a remarkable range of subjects: the relationship between architectural and urban ideologies, the symbolic performance of architecture in relation to the urban condition, the formal and ideological development of a building type, the relationship between architecture and other visual discourses, and the position of gender and body in Western architecture.

Diana Agrest practices architecture in New York City. She teaches at The Cooper Union and at Columbia University.

Críticas

" Agrest analyzes architecture's diminished role in cities dominated by mirrored-glass buildings, never ending skyscrapers, and urban-plans-as-activity-systems. The essays, collected over a twenty-year period, reflect the author's investigation of history and theory (particularly semiotics) in relation to the city and architecture." -- Suzanne Stephens, AIA Oculus & quot; Agrest analyzes architecture's diminished role in cities dominated by mirrored-glass buildings, never ending skyscrapers, and urban-plans-as-activity-systems.
