Summary:
Studying the relation of architecture to society, this book explains the manner in which the discipline of architecture adjusted itself in order to satisfy new pressures by society. Consequently, it offers an understanding of contemporary conditions and phenomena, ranging from the ubiquity of landmark buildings to the celebrity status of architects. It concerns the period spanning from 1966 to the first years of the current century – a period which saw radical change in economy, politics, and culture and a period in which architecture radically transformed, substituting the alleged dreariness of modernism with spectacle.

Summary:
Architecture Without Content is architecture reduced to its very perimeter. The books in the series are the outcome of studios held at EPFL. In Architecture Without Content 14, the second incarnation of Roman Architecture presents itself as a double folded exercise: partly portraying the systematic work by Palladio in the Venetian inland during the second half of the sixteenth century, partyly reusing the accumulated knowledge in order to deal with urgent challenges in contemporary Flanders. The oeuvre by Palladio represents on of the most prototypical incarnations, almost literal indeed, of a possible Roman project. His prolific work for the venetian inlandrepresents a tremendous effort to systematise the complexity of an entire territory, from the city proper (i.e. Vicenza), to the countryside proper 9the sprawl still to come).

Summary:
The Architecture of Neoliberalism pursues an uncompromising critique of the neoliberal turn in contemporary architecture. This book reveals how a self-styled parametric and post-critical architecture serves mechanisms of control and compliance while promoting itself, at the same time, as progressive.

Summary:
The Architecture of Neoliberalism pursues an uncompromising critique of the neoliberal turn in contemporary architecture. This book reveals how a self-styled parametric and post-critical architecture serves mechanisms of control and compliance while promoting itself, at the same time, as progressive. Spencer's incisive analysis of the architecture and writings of figures such as Zaha Hadid, Patrik Schumacher, Rem Koolhaas, Greg Lynn and Alejandro Zaera-Polo shows them to be in thrall to the same notions of liberty as are propounded in neoliberal thought.
