Description

Pyrotechnic Cities: Architecture, Fire-Safety and Standardisation by Routledge explores the complex connection between architecture, government, and fire. This book examines how fire-safety standardisation transforms building design into both a challenge for and a tool of government. By studying fire-safety standards closely, the text demonstrates how architecture and the city influence our approach to governing. The research begins with an investigation into the Grenfell Tower fire and the political actors who used the event to drive programs of governmental reform. It then places this research within the context of current literature to provide a deep understanding of how urban design and safety regulations shape political structures. This work is an essential resource for those interested in how the built environment and safety protocols affect modern governance and urban life.
