Description

Book Synopsis
The September 11 terrorist attacks targeted America's icons of military and economic power. This book argues that it was no accident that these targets were buildings. It focuses on the very culture of aftermath itself, exploring how global politics, clashing cultures, and warfare have changed the way we experience destination architecture.

Trade Review
"This provocative, lively, and well-written book challengingly addresses the place of architecture in the contested aftermath of September 11 and indeed of modernism as such. It has range, bite, and insight, reinforced by a dazzling range of reference and vision." - Nicholas Mirzoeff, New York University"
