Architectural decay as well as the reasons, effects, appearance and
representation of ruination have always been important sources of
understanding the state of our culture. The essays in this
co-written book offer broad perspectives on the potential of ruins,
on the use and appropriation of derelict architecture and on the
aesthetics and also touristification of places by analysing a
variety of phenomena in the range from classical to fake ruins,
from historic city centres to hot dog stands, from debris to theme
parks. The survey travels from Tallin through Venice and Istanbul
to Beirut, discussing among others actual spaces, allegorical
monuments and nostalgic aestheticisations of the past in high and
popular culture, thus showing numerous inspiring opportunities of
learning from decay.
