Acerca de

Sinopsis

This text examines society's attitude towards the proliferation of invented environments such as theme parks and shopping malls. It argues that "real" architecture is losing a battle with user-friendly, themed products of a profit-driven culture of marketing, consumerism and entertainment.

Rese�a del editor

A leading American architectural critic examines Americans' peculiar passion for synthetic environments, such as shopping malls and Disneyworld, and charges today's architecture with being dehumanized and functionally out of tune with the environment.
