In much recent theory, the media are described as ephemeral,
ubiquitous, and de-localized. Yet the activity of modern media can
be traced to spatial centers that are tangible enough - some even
monumental. This book offers multidisciplinary and historical
perspectives on the buildings of some of the world's major media
institutions. Paradoxically, as material and aesthetic
manifestations of "mediated centers" of power, they provide sites
to the siteless and solidity to the immaterial. The authors analyse
the ways that architectural form and organization reflect different
eras, media technologies, ideologies, and relations with the public
in media houses from New York and Silicon Valley to London, Moscow,
and Beijing.
