A provocative look at architecture- and "exceptionally intelligent and original and " (Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post Book World) Deyan Sudjic- and "probably the most influential figure in architecture you've never heard of and " - 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 and "theme park and " 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. This controversial book is essential reading for all those interested in the power of architecture-or the architecture of power. * A Washington Post Book World Best Book of the Year
