Architecture & Politics: From Antiquity to the 20th Century. Short Course (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798305160673)

As John Ruskin wrote: "all people, whatever their tastes and aptitudes, are forced to confront the surrounding buildings."

Therefore, the durability of architecture and its ubiquity in space make it the perfect tool for pursuing politics based both on the philosophy of power and on a specific ideology... This book, written as a short course, which you can read in one evening, shows the mutual interpenetration architecture and politics, from antiquity to the 20th century.

It is a fascinating journey through history marked by influences that today we don't even want to think about... but we succumb to them anyway.
