Product Description
Product Description
Drawing on the ideas of philosophers and cultural theorists such as Walter Benjamin and Jean Baudrillard, this text develops a critique of the consequences of the growing preoccupation with images and image-making in contemporary architectural culture. Neil Leach argues that the problem with this preoccupation is that it can induce a sort of numbness, as the saturation of images floods the senses and obscures deeper concerns. As a result architects can become anaesthetized from the social and political realities of everyday life.
