Presenting an introductory but in-depth assessment and critique of Baudrillard's interest in architecture, key concepts such as the object and the code, seduction and hyper-reality, obscenity and terrorism, and cultural consumption are highlighted here. The book emphasises how the mutual concerns of cultural theory and architecture provide a fruitful ground for debate. This is an approach which students and practitioners in architecture will benefit immensely from - focusing on the contradictions inherent in contemporary architecture in the light of Baudrillard's work"-- UR - https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781315712659 UR - http://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf ER -
