Product Description

Review
'Shonfield is an exemplary close-reader, functioning very well as literary, film and architecture critic ... The book comes highly recommended.' - Building Design

Product Description
This book uniquely brings to bear questions of urgent cultural relevance on critical design decisions. As such, it is of as much importance to architects, planners and students of design, as to students of cultural history, geography and film.

This review is from: Walls Have Feelings: Architecture, Film and the City (Paperback)
Architectural and artistic practitioner Shonfield ploughs a fertile furrow in this far-reaching discussion of the construction of twentieth century urban space, and its representation in film. Drawing heavily on European cultural theorists of the 'everyday', Walter Benjamin and Henri Lefebvre, she explores a similar space to the filmmaker Patrick Keiller (London, Robinson in Space), using narrative film and fiction as a means of breaking down the implicit specialisms of architecture and urban planning and asking what the alternatives are to flats that leak and urban planning that separates the city-dweller from the city.

She begins with an analysis of post-war brutalist architecture, which elevated structural transparency to the moral authority of 'honestly' representing society, and as a consequence produced bland, dehumanised interiors and the
