Walter Benjamin has become a decisive reference point for a whole
range of critical disciplines, as he constructed a unique and
provocative synthesis of aesthetics, politics and philosophy.
Examining Benjamin's contributions to cultural criticism in
relation to the works of Max Ernst, Adolf Loos, Le Corbusier and
Sigfried Giedion, this book also situates Benjamin's work within
more recent developments in architecture and urbanism. This is a
concise, coherent account of the relevance of Walter Benjamin's
writings to architects, locating Benjamin's critical work within
the context of contemporary architecture and urbanism.
