Framing Places is an account of the nexus between place and power,
investigating how the built forms of architecture and urban design
act as mediators of social practices of power. Explored through a
range of theories and case studies, this examination shows how
lives are 'framed' within the clusters of rooms, buildings, streets
and cities. These silent framings of everyday life also mediate
practices of coercion, seduction and authorization as architects
and urban designers engage with the articulation of dreams;
imagining and constructing a 'better' future in someone's interest.
This second edition has been thoroughly revised and updated to
include a look at the recent Grollo Tower development in Melbourne
and a critique on Euralille, a new quarter development in Northern
France. The book draws from a broad range of methodology including:
analysis of spatial structure discourse analysis phenomenology.
These approaches are woven together through a series of narratives
on specific cities - Berlin, Beijing and Bangkok - and global
building types including the corporate tower, shopping mall,
domestic house and enclave.
