In an original and sweeping historical study, the sociologist author of The Uses of Disorder relates society's most prominent ills, from clinical narcissism to political apathy, to the decline of public life and the rise of an arid privatism, exalting intimacy and enshrining personality. His model is the Enlightenment cosmopolis, where "a balance of public and private geography. . . did exist"; his method is to investigate the change in public roles - "the social terms on which human beings are expressive" - from the 1750s to the 1890s in the prototypical urban centers, London and Paris.

Résumé:
In this short, intentionally polemical book, Neil Leach draws on the ideas of philosophers and cultural theorists such as Walter Benjamin and Jean Baudrillard to develop a novel and highly incisive critique of the consequences of the growing preoccupation with images and image-making in contemporary architectural culture. The problem with this preoccupation, Leach argues, is that it can induce a sort of numbness, as the saturation of images floods the senses and obscures deeper concerns. This problem is particularly acute for a discipline such as architecture, which relies heavily on visual representation. As a result, architects can become anaesthetized from the social and political realities of everyday life. In the intoxicating world of the image, the aesthetics of architecture threaten to become the anaesthetics of architecture. In this culture of aesthetic consumption, this "culture of the cocktail," meaningful discourse gives way to strategies of seduction, and architectural design is reduced to the superficial play of empty, seductive forms.

Résumé:
Few twentieth-century writers on architecture and design have enjoyed the renown of Reyner Banham. Born and trained in England and a U.S. resident starting in 1976, Banham wrote incisively about American and European buildings and culture. Now readers can enjoy a chronological cross-section of essays, polemics, and reviews drawn from more than three decades of Banham's writings. The volume, which includes discussions of Italian Futurism, Adolf Loos, Paul Scheerbart, and the Bauhaus as well as explorations of contemporary architecture by Frank Gehry, James Stirling, and Norman Foster, conveys the full range of Banham's belief in industrial and technological development as the motor of architectural evolution. Banham's interests and passions ranged from architecture and the culture of pop art to urban and industrial design. In brilliant analyses of automobile styling, mobile homes, science fiction films, and the American predilection for gadgets, he anticipated many of the preoccupations of contemporary cultural studies. Los Angeles, the city that Banham commemorated in a book and a film, receives extensive attention in essays on the Santa Monica Pier, the Getty Museum, Forest Lawn cemetery, and the ubiquitous freeway system. Eminently readable, provocative, and entertaining, this book is certain to consolidate Banham's reputation among architects and students of contemporary culture. For those acquainted with his writing, it offers welcome surprises as well as familiar delights. For those encountering Banham for the first time, it comprises the perfect introduction.

Résumé:
This book consists of two parts. Within each chapter, the left-hand page shows the work of an artist and the right-hand page that of an architect. This device of presenting the work in pairs has been contrived to emphasize the remarkable degree of correspondence between art and architecture and to highlight the common conceptual and physical qualities of the projects. Throughout, designers, landscape architects and lighting engineers are included in the architectural category, as their working structures, contractually defined to provide a quantifiable design service to the client, are alike. The works are assembled according to their design concept and arranged in eight sections, which identify the most important characteristics of each project. 'Barometer' focuses on the connection of the work to its natural environment, and 'Passage' investigates the relationship of space perception to physical movement. 'Reflection' looks at the suggestive power of the double image, and 'Light' compiles examples of the material quality of luminous matter. The manipulation of our habitual point of view is the subject of the chapter called 'Observation', while 'Excavation', as the title suggests, deals with the exploration of negative space. The 'Sound' chapter reviews the pervasive presence of resonant structures, and 'Memory' is dedicated to the physicality of our recollections.
