Summary:

This book offers the first study of how architectural practice, theory, patronage, and experience became modern with the rise of a mass public and a reconfigured public sphere. Depicting architecture's passage into a mediatized public culture as an historic turning point, and interrogating it as a symptom of a changing configuration of individual, society, and space, this study will interest readers well beyond the discipline of architectural history.
