Book Description:
|
This book investigates architecture on the margins of postmodernism where the temporal erodes the spatial and both architecture and postmodernism begin to break down. The author not only examines a wide range of architectural phenomena--theme parks, casinos, specific modernist and postmodernist buildings--but also interrogates architecture in relation to identity--specifically Native American and gay male identities--as they are reflected in new notions of the built environment.
