Ruined Skylines (eBook, PDF)

Aesthetics, Politics and London's Towering Cityscape

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Ruined Skylines examines the skyline as a space for radical urban politics. Focusing on the relationship between aesthetics and politics in London's tall-building boom, it develops a critique of the construction of more and more speculative towers as well as a critique of the claim that these buildings ruin the historic cityscape.
