The Barren Landscape: Reading US Corporate Architecture

Astrid Kersten and Ronald Gilardi

Chapter 10 in Art and Aesthetics at Work, 2003, pp 138-154 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Architecture is traditionally seen as an expression or embodiment of cultural values and constructs, either existing or aspired to in a given society. Architecture can also be seen as political practice, however, as an explicit attempt to change those values, to create new constructs, or as a reflection of social relations of domination and resistance.
