The Edifice Complex: The Architecture of Power

£12.99

The Edifice Complex explores the intimate and inextricable relationship between power, money and architecture in the twentieth century
How and why have presidents, prime ministers, mayors, millionaires and bishops come to share such a fascination with grand designs?
From Blair to Mitterrand, from Hitler to Stalin to Saddam Hussein, architecture has become an end in itself, as well as a means to an end
This is a book of genuine timeliness, throwing new light on the motivations of the rich and powerful around the world - and on the ways they seek to affect us
