Hal Foster
Hal Foster, author of the acclaimed ,Design and Crime,, argues that a fusion of architecture and art is a defining feature of contemporary culture. He identifies a â€œglobal styleâ€ of architectureâ€”as practiced by Norman Foster, Richard Rogers and Renzo Pianoâ€”analogous to the international style of Le Corbusier, Gropius and Mies.Â ,More than any art, todayâ€™s global style conveys both the dreams and delusions of modernity. Foster demonstrates that a study of the â€œart-architecture complexâ€ provides invaluable insight into broader social and economic trajectories in urgent need of analysis.,From the Trade Paperback edition.
