Description

Explore the complex relationship between architecture and national identity in Conflicted Identities: Housing and the Politics of Cultural Representation. Part of the Routledge Research in Architecture series, this book examines how nation-states use representational architecture to build symbolic identities for public consumption. While government buildings and urban plans are often used to create an official image of a shared national character, a second, divergent identity exists within domestic spaces. This work investigates the tension between these official architectural representations and the lived realities of those who occupy domestic environments. By looking at how both public ensembles and private spaces define cultural meaning, this text provides a deep look into the politics of how we represent ourselves through the built environment.
