Architectural Agents: The Delusional, Abusive, Addictive Lives of Buildings
ISBN: 9780816693399 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Buildings are not benign; rather, they commonly manipulate and abuse their human users. Architectural Agents makes the case that buildings act in the world independently of their makers, patrons, owners, or occupants. And often they act badly. Treating buildings as bodies, Annabel Jane Wharton writes biographies of symptomatic structures in order to diagnose their pathologies.

Selling Jerusalem: Relics, Replicas, Theme Parks
ISBN: 9780226894225 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780226894201 / Angielski / Miękka / 2004 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In postwar Europe and the Middle East, Hilton hotels were quite literally "little Americas."
