Sinopsis

The relationship between politics and the public relations industry is controversial and, at times, polemic. However, one component of this relationship that has yet to be investigated is the role of architecture. Arguing for a fundamental reconfiguration of our understanding of âÇÖpolitical architectureâÇÖ, this book suggests it is not only a question of constructed buildings, but equally a case of mediated imagery.aÇÇaÇÇ Considered through examples of architecture as a backdrop for photo shoots by politicians in the democracies of the United States and the United Kingdom, this book suggests these images give us both a better understanding ofárecent developments in the Western political economy and the architectural and urban developments of the late 20th and early 21st Centuries.Using case studies of Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair, David Cameron, Barack Obama, George W. Bush and Donald Trump, this book represents a ground-breaking triangular analysis that will be essential reading for scholars in architecture, politics, media and communication studies.
