A narrative analysis of the role played by the wealthy and powerful classes in architecture argues that architecture must be understood as an expression of power and propaganda rather than art, exploring a range of structures and large-scale building schemes commissioned by such figures as Hitler, Rockefeller, and Saddam Hussein as part of their efforts to wield control and shape national identity. 20,000 first printing.

Deyan Sudjic has been the architecture critic of The Observer newspaper in London since 2000. After graduating with an architecture degree from the University of Edinburgh, he established Blueprint magazine, an international monthly review of architecture and design that broke new ground by covering the entire spectrum of design disciplines.

Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. A provocative look at architecture-exceptionally intelligent and original (Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post Book World) Deyan Sudjic-probably the most influential figure in architecture you've never heard of - 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 theme park 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.
