Description

Architecture after God

A
vivid retelling of the biblical story of Babel leads from the contested
site of Babylon to the soaring towers of the modern metropolis, and
sets the bright hopes of early modernism against the shadows of
gathering war. Dealing in structural metaphor, utopian aspiration, and
geopolitical ambition, Dugdale exposes the inexorable architectural
implications of the event described by Nietzsche as the death of God.

The Exploring Architecture
series makes architectural scholarship accessible, introduces the
latest research methods, and covers a wide range of periods, regions,
and topics.

  • Critical reappraisal of early modernism
  • Based on the fable The Emperor and the Architect (1924) by Uriel Birnbaum
  • New volume in the Exploring Architecture series
