Architecture, Media, and Memory
ISBN: 9781350170513 / Miękka / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. Architecture, Media and Memory examines the wide range of urban sites impacted by September 11 and its aftermath - from the spontaneous memorials that emerged in Union Square in the hours after the attacks, to the reconstruction at Ground Zero, to vast ongoing landscape urbanism projects beyond.

It argues that the reconstruction of New York must be considered in relation to larger issues of...
