Description

Explore how architecture functioned as a tool of diplomacy during a period of intense global tension. This volume from the Ashgate Studies in Architecture series examines six major European international and national expositions held between 1937 and 1959. It provides a detailed account of how buildings served as carriers for war-related messages, ranging from subtle, camouflaged meanings to direct, frank declarations of power. Readers will study historical moments where architecture became a stage for political confrontation. The book analyzes famous standoffs, such as the tension between Stalinist Russia and Nazi Germany at the 1937 Paris exposition, as well as the visual competition between the USSR and USA pavilions at the 1958 Brussels exposition. This work offers a deep look into how structural design and exhibition spaces were used to project force and national identity during the Second World War and the years following it.
