This book comprehensively examines architecture, urban planning,
and civic perception in three modern cities as they transform into
national capitals through an entangled, transnational process that
involves an imaginative geography based on embellished memories of
classical Athens. Schinkel's classicist architecture in Berlin,
especially the principle of tectonics at its core, came to be
adopted effectively at faraway cities in East Asia, merging with
the notion of national polity as Imperial Japan sought to reinvent
Tokyo and mutating into an inevitable reflection of modern
civilization upon reaching colonial Seoul, all of which give reason
to ruminate over the phantasmagoria of modernity.
