Large construction sites are not only an expression and driver of
technical progress but also, as symbolic places, conveyors of
political and cultural messages. In the wake of the crises
affecting large current projects, such as Berlin Airport and the
Hamburg Elbphilharmonie, public interest in them is currently
enormous. However, this is by no means a new phenomenon. The book
presented here provides – for the first time – far-reaching and
comparative analyses of the history and importance of large
construction sites. Using case studies from different cultural
spheres and time periods, the authors discuss the multifaceted
degrees of impact large buildings have during construction over the
frequently long periods of their creation, and the changes in how
they are perceived by society.
