Résumé:
In addition to an overview of Shulman's career and photographic oeuvre, this book emphasizes Shulman's method of 'constructing' photographic views. These constructions, which complemented his innate ability to compose striking photographs, often transcend reality to capture the spirit, time, and place of a work of architecture. An analysis of architecture's visual presentation examines not only the media of the era, John Entenza's Arts & Architecture, for instance, but also the work of Shulman's photographic contemporaries.

Résumé:
Chaos and anarchy represent the opposite pole to an ordered life. Nothing works any more, everything is devastated, everything is falling apart. City walls, buildings that once afforded protection, have fallen victim to the excesses of armed conflict. In Ruins, the author delivers a detailed assessment of ruins as a phenomenon in architecture, landscape design, fine art, film and the media. The result is an extraordinarily intense contribution to the theme of transience.
