Recenzii

[Archi.Pop] does much more than rehearse old critiques. Rather, [it] ... attempts to address the ways in which popular culture intersects with architectural production ... In doing so, the book offers more than a simple corrective to scholarship focused on the "known designer" ... Many of the pleasures of [Archi.Pop] ... come from its exploration of particular, often obscure, histories of pop culture.
This adventurous book brings together the subjects of architectural history and popular culture through a novel set of case studies. The interdisciplinary approach foregrounds the popular representation and understanding of modern architecture and interiors. From the Playboy Club to the car interior, the book is engaging and critically engaged.
This indispensable collection of lively essays explores a rich vein of overlooked material-TV domesticity, shag carpet, Hollywood sets, plastic toys, magazine pictures, amusement parks, hip hop-that re-examines modern architecture and design. Smart, readable, and engaging, the book extends Reyner Banham's project into the twenty-first century.
