Reflections on Architecture, Society and Politics brings together a
series of thirteen interview-articles by Graham Cairns in
collaboration with some of the most prominent polemic thinkers and
critical practitioners from the fields of architecture and the
social sciences, including Noam Chomsky, Peggy Deamer, Robert A.M.
Stern, Daniel Libeskind and Kenneth Frampton. Each chapter explores
the relationship between architecture and socio-political issues
through discussion of architectural theories and projects, citing
specific issues and themes that have led to, and will shape, the
various aspects of the current and future built environment.
Ranging from Chomsky's examination of the US-Mexico border as the
architecture of oppression to Robert A.M. Stern's defence of
projects for the Disney corporation and George W. Bush, this book
places politics at the center of issues within contemporary
architecture.
