Prix -- Ben van Berkel -- Joseph Young -- David Gianotten -- Simon Sadler -- Notes -- Select bibliography -- Index.  aDigital Monuments radically explodes "iconic architecture" of the new millennium and its hijacking of the public imagination via the digital image. Hallucinatory constructions such as Rem Koolhaas's CCTV headquarters in Beijing, Frank Gehry's Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao and Zaha Hadid's Performing Arts Centre in Abu Dhabi are all introduced to the world by immortal digital imagery that floods the internet--yet comes to haunt the actualised buildings. Like holograms, these "digital monuments," which violently push physics and engineering to their limits, flicker eerily between the real and the unreal--invoking fantasies of omnipotence, immortality and utopian cities. But this experience of iconic architecture as a digital dream on the ground conceals from the urban spectator the social reality of the buildings and the rigidity of their ideology. In 18 micro-essays, Digital Monuments exposes the stereotypes of iconic architecture while depicting the savagery of the industry, from the Greek and Spanish crises triggered by financialised iconic development to mass labour-deaths on construction sites in the UAE.  aDescription based on publisher supplied metadata and other sources. 0aArchitecture and fame. 0aDigital images. 0aArchitecturexPsychological aspects. 4aElectronic books.08iPrint version:aBrott, SimonetDigital MonumentsdMilton : Taylor & Francis Group,c2019z9780367201111  uhttps://login.ezproxy.pucpr.edu/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/pucpr-ebooks/detail.action?docID=5898097yAcceso Remoto40uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/pucpr-ebooks/detail.action?docID=5898097yAcceso en el Campus PUCPR
