Stephan Truby
An entertaining and stimulating manifesto on the subject of the relationship of architecture to politics, war and religion. From Roman temples and Washington’s corridors of power to the anti-panic architecture of Mecca, it becomes clear that architecture is capable of altering cultures, empires and even religions.
