Through close readings of skyscrapers, opera houses, and urban parks in Chicago, Kai Horstmannshoff develops a theoretical framework that allows his readers to understand architectural styles as concrete expressions of historically shifting conceptions of the human, matter, space, and time. As such, the book appeals to both a general public interested in exploring what architecture means and experts working in the fields of aesthetic theory, art history, and cultural studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kai Horstmannshoff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3837640221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783837640229\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Transcript Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Kai Horstmannshoff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48659547980031,"sku":"9783837640229","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-loop-kai-horstmannshoff-9783837640229","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
